Liverpool-grown glam rocker Leonie Jakobi selects 10 tracks for instant joy on the open road to celebrate the release of her debut album, What Are The People Gonna Say?

'Sherry Darling' by Bruce Springsteen

My favourite song to drive, dance and vibe to. I also like to think of this as the first song that’s basically a “your mum” joke. I’m the biggest Springsteen fan and it’s hard to pick just one, but this is definitely in the top three.

'Red Light Spells Danger' by Billy Ocean

I heard this song on a tv show and listened to it on repeat ever since. Can’t stop smiling when I hear it - the simple melody and chords with this amazing voice! I challenge you to not move your hips when listening to this. Would love to hear him live sometime.

'If I Ever Stray' by Frank Turner

“As long as I got me a place to sleep, some clothes on my back and some food to eat / then I can’t ask for anything more.” Pretty much sums up my life at the moment. Frank is a huge inspiration for independent artists everywhere and this song shows you why.

'Keep A Knockin'' by Suzi Quatro

Suzi never knocked; she just kicked the doors in! When I grow up, I want to be at least half as cool as her. This is pure rock’n’roll! Especially as it’s a Little Richard cover, and who’s more rock’n’roll than him?

''73' by Arielle

A song about the coolest orange VW campervan from 1973. I’ve been a fan of Arielle for years and it was such an honour that she ended up producing my debut album at her new analogue studio in Nashville. Songs like this one made me really excited about creating new music.

'Flawless' by Dorothy

Reminds me of those long roads in the American desert. It’s a confidence booster that should be belted out in a convertible.

'Diggin' Up The Heart' by Brandon Flowers

Every flight I’ve been on for the past eight years, I listened to this song during take off. Try it out! Especially if you’ve got flight anxiety like me. This one gets you hyped and excited to start your trip!

'Glory Road' by The New Roses

I’ve toured with The New Roses for the past year and every single night, this song made me smile from ear to ear. It gets you excited to hit the road again! Even if you’ve just had five short nights in a row.

'Cool Rider' by Michelle Pfeiffer

When I found out that most people have only seen the first Grease, I was shocked! If you haven’t seen it yet, please check out Grease 2, where the roles are reversed. Michelle Pfeiffer is the coolest pink lady you can imagine, so she obviously needs a cool rider!

'Rockin' All Over The World' by Status Quo

I only found out not too long ago that this is a John Fogerty song, so no surprise I love it so much! I used to sing this with my dad’s local cover band when I was young and now I use it to close my show. After we play the last note, you’ll hear this song coming through the speakers. It feels only right to close this playlist with it.
