Following the success of “Reason To Dust,” (45k streams on Spotify) Bliss My Heart andWildstreet vocalist Eric Jayk have released a new single, “Drive Fast” along with the official music video. Influenced by Bauhaus and Sister Of Mercy, Bliss My Heart sent Eric Jayk an 8 year old demo of “Drive Fast” in July immediately following the release of “Reason To Dust”. She was hoping the two could continue their collaboration in a rock, very loud way. Jayk added the main hook vocal/lyrics, Depeche Mode inspired rhythm guitars and the end solo. Working with producerDaniel Lima ( Brazil ) for the first time and mastered by Michael Fossenkemper, “Drive Fast”was completed in September. The music video was filmed by Philippe Jacob outside Paris in October 2021, shortly after Wildstreet’s tour in Europe. The cover artwork was created by Adam Carini.
