The 22-year-old singer is having the summer any young artist dreams of, not only with a <em>Billboard<\/em> 200 Top 5 placement with his second album, <em>Do That Again<\/em>, but also a song of the summer contender with his 2024 sleeper hit \u201cEarrings\u201d doing incredible numbers on streaming. The fashion world is duly taking note on his meteoric rise, and with Todd\u2019s casual Cali-boy style and adorable smile making him a standout, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/fashion\/fashion-news-july-16-2026\" class=\"T3D\">Gap<\/a> tapped him to lead its newest campaign, \u201cDenim on Your Own.\u201d The task wasn\u2019t as easy as just posing in front of a camera: Gap asked Todd to cover perhaps the most legendary pop song of the 21st century, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/articles\/robyn-wants-you-new-music-video\" class=\"T3D\">Dancing on My Own<\/a>.\u201d But Todd, ever the cool guy, tells NYLON there were no nerves about lending his voice to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/entertainment\/zara-larsson-robyn-talk-to-me-song-collaboration\" class=\"T3D\">Robyn<\/a> track: \u201cIt was just like getting in the studio with your best friends and getting to sing an awesome song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His laid-back attitude lends itself well to the relaxed \u201990s Loose fit he rocks in the campaign, and it makes him right at home with literally everyone, including his campaign co-star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/entertainment\/inde-navarrette-encounter-obsession-interview\" class=\"T3D\">Inde Navarrette<\/a>, who is also experiencing a breakout summer for the books. They exchanged words of wisdom on set, then danced it out in other hero styles, including the Mid-Rise Straight Taper Jeans, which have a polished edge yet maintain that low-key feel Gap is known for. It\u2019s a hallmark moment for Todd, who went from his unofficial young-adult training via living in the East Village \u2014 \u201cI didn\u2019t go to college. I was like, \u2018If I\u2019m not going to college, I\u2019m going to live in the East Village.\u2019\u201d \u2014 and eating junk food on tour to now selling out Radio City Music Hall (twice!) and putting fruit and almonds on his rider. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"QYV\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div class=\"uT7\">\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/8\/10\/17556422\/malcolm-final-2.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"MO9\"><cite> Bjorn Loos<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/8\/10\/eff0246b\/inde-final.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"MO9\"><cite> Bjorn Loos<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-481837865\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\">\n<div class=\"F6c\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button>1 \/ 2<button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"igl f5y\"><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"itG\">1 \/ 2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Before he hits the road on his sold-out <em>Do That Again<\/em> Tour, Todd dialed in from Los Angeles to talk to NYLON about shooting the campaign, his early Gap memories, and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/entertainment\/song-of-the-summer-2025-tiktok\" class=\"T3D\">song of the summer picks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How was the process of recording a cover of \u201cDancing on My Own\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was awesome. It was really exciting. Some people think it\u2019s nerve-wracking, or that you have to follow in these footsteps \u2014 it\u2019s such an iconic song \u2014 but the energy the Gap team put into the process was just like, \u201cGo have fun. Go do your thing. There\u2019s no rules. We know you love this song, so just go have a blast and we want to hear your voice on it. We don\u2019t want to hear a copy of that.\u201d It got me excited. I felt like I was getting to do a fun project. I got to bring in all the people I work on my albums with, so it was just like getting in the studio with your best friends and getting to sing an awesome song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was it your idea to do that song in particular?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, they laid out a few songs and were like, \u201cThis is what we think really works. What are you feeling?\u201d And \u201cDancing on My Own\u201d was the one for me. I really love that song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about shooting the campaign with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/entertainment\/sombr-my-body-isnt-ready-music-video-bts-photos-inde-navarrette\" class=\"T3D\">Inde Navarrette<\/a>. How was the experience on set?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That was awesome. She\u2019s so cool and so down to earth. I loved <em>Obsession;<\/em> I\u2019m a fan of her work. It\u2019s nice to hang out with nice people. Hanging out with a contemporary and someone who\u2019s also on the rise of fame, and getting to talk about that and connect on that level, was cool. She\u2019s handling everything so well, and it\u2019s an honor to get to work together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did she give you any good advice? Did you give her any advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We talked about how it\u2019s all about being yourself. We were like, \u201cLook, we\u2019re just ourselves. That\u2019s all we should do.

I remember back to school shopping with my mom and being like, \u201cI want this; I want this; I want that.\u201d I remember my mom getting mad at me for spilling on my Gap tees and stuff and being like, \u201cJust eat with a fork and knife.\u201d I\u2019m a very messy eater, so I remember being stoked in my new Gap clothes and then being also like, \u201cOh, whoops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite denim fit from the Gap collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the loose style for sure. That\u2019s definitely my fit of jeans. I think that works the best for me. I\u2019m slowly going skinnier and getting more comfortable with that, but I think it\u2019s the perfect middle ground where it\u2019s loose but not overly baggy. It\u2019s very comfortable and looks good with any shoes, which is the battle with jeans sometimes. Sometimes they restrict you and you can\u2019t wear certain shoes with, but I could wear any shoe with those. It\u2019s super easy. And it feels very like, I just roll out of bed, throw \u2019em on. Very boyish, cute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you feel about skinny jeans?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m warming up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/fashion\/skinny-jean-revival-spring-2027-menswear-runway\" class=\"T3D\">skinny jeans<\/a> for sure. I have pretty skinny legs, and so I always felt like they kind of made me out a little bit, but as I\u2019m growing up, I\u2019m noticing it\u2019s a good look.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:133.3333%\" class=\"vmZ F8Y ap2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/8\/10\/4251fca6\/malcolm-final-4.jpg?w=414&amp;h=552&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Yte pt7 okb\"><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite class=\"hW6\"> Bjorn Loos<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>I have loved seeing everybody embrace \u201cEarrings,\u201d it\u2019s been a big summer song.

How will you be wearing your Gap denim on stage?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a good question. I want to feel very free on stage this summer&#8230; I mean, I guess this fall. My vibe on stage is not too much of a getup. I feel like I had to change my character to be on stage. I want to feel like I went to go eat lunch, I was in a cute outfit, and then it\u2019s time to go play guitar, and I\u2019m still just in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/fashion\/pop-stars-low-key-fashion-haim-lorde-addison-rae\" class=\"T3D\">cute outfit<\/a>. I\u2019m not dressing up for anybody. I feel like being free, casual, and comfortable on stage. My Gap denim will be the move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Besides all the fabulous Gap denim, what else is a tour must? What\u2019s on the Malcolm Todd rider?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll let you in on my rider in the green room: I just have almonds, fruit, and water. That\u2019s what I like to snack on. I have such a sweet tooth that if I put sweets in my rider, I\u2019ll eat every sweet I see. I have to limit myself. I\u2019ve found a love for berries and almonds. That\u2019s my candy. That\u2019s my food rider, and then little things to keep my voice right, and maybe some games like Rummikub or playing cards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wow. I\u2019m shocked and impressed by the self-control, honestly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you got to do it. I mean, my first few tours, it was pretty much Twinkies and Doritos.
