Jessie and the Toy Boys, ‘Push It’ – Song Spotlight

Take an electro dance groove, an experienced pop music pro recording under a new moniker, a few department store mannequins, and production from No Doubt's Tony Kanal and the man responsible for RuPaul's 'Supermodel' and you have the new Jessie and the Toy Boys song 'Push It.'

Jessie and the Toy Boys is the creative outlet of Jessie Malakouti, whose Twitter page modestly refers to her band thusly: "The future of pop. Fact." After working as a backup singer for the Pet Shop Boys and dancing in music videos, Jessie has a new endeavor with the Toy Boys, a name which can refer to the mannequins who accompany her on photo/video shoots or the male dancers who join her onstage.

While Malakouti describes her band's sound as a gritty mix of dubstep, alternative rock and pop, 'Push It' is more of a straightforward dance song. The time Jessie spent in European clubs is evident on the track, which combines electro elements with Jessie's brash, heavily-processed vocals.

"Shake it up, soaking wet / This is how rumors start," she sings. "Sex, drugs, rock & roll / Everybody lose control."

'Push It' also features a cameo from Yelawolf, an up and coming rapper signed to Eminem's Shady Records. Jessie wrote the song with Kanal and Jimmy Harry, co-writer of RuPaul's 'Supermodel.'

Jessie and the Toy Boys continue work on a full-length album, which is expected to include production from Nellee Hooper, best known for his work with Madonna and Bjork.
