There’s a certain kind of attraction that doesn’t feel casual. It feels sacred. Not because it’s pure, but because it’s consuming — the type of longing that turns into ritual, the type of intimacy that becomes a private religion. On “Sugar Kapel,” French Dark Pop artist Bliss My Heart reunites with producer Cliff Estatof to explore exactly that: sensuality as devotion, obsession as sanctuary, love as a place you go to survive.

Following the intensity of their acclaimed single “Sinner Sinner” (released last June and praised by international outlets including Rolling Stone France, Playboy Mexico, Periodico Metro, Orkus, Side-Line and more), “Sugar Kapel” flips the emotional temperature without losing the duo’s spiritual gravity. It’s lighter, yes — but it’s still drenched in mysticism, still built like a spell.

As Jen Wolf describes it, the song is “a kind of sensuality’s prayer,” something you carry in your heart for someone you can’t stop wanting. “After the darkness of our last single ‘Sinner Sinner’, we wanted to show something more light but still in a spiritual way,” she explains, “like a sanctuary of endless love.”

And that’s the real power of “Sugar Kapel”: it doesn’t treat desire as something purely physical. It treats it like a force — something holy, fragile, and dangerously addictive.

New Wave Romance, Dark Wave Heat

Sonically, “Sugar Kapel” leans hard into the duo’s love for New Wave and 80s Dark Wave, but it does it with intention — not nostalgia. The track is dance-driven and synth-forward, pulsing with sharp Simmons drums, a signature Rickenbacker guitar resonance, and a cinematic atmosphere that feels both intimate and cold, like neon light reflecting on skin at 3AM.

It’s sexy in that classic 80s way — not polished, but magnetic. Not loud, but hypnotic. A track that moves like smoke and hits like a memory.

Cliff Estatof frames the narrative as a sweet kind of obsession, where the person you desire becomes almost unreal in their perfection.

“‘Sugar Kapel’ speaks of an intense, almost obsessive attraction to someone who seems perfect,” he says, referencing the lyric imagery of “crystal skin,” a detail that makes everyone else feel “average” in comparison. The result is a passion that’s “sweet, sensual, and addictive,” wrapped in a dark-wave/synth aesthetic with “sexy 80s vibes,” placing their universe in “an era that no longer belongs to anyone.”

That line lands like the whole mission statement: timeless, placeless, suspended in a romantic darkness that feels like it exists outside of the real world.

A Softer Chapter — Still Spiritual, Still Dangerous

Where “Sinner Sinner” carried the weight of shadow and confrontation, “Sugar Kapel” feels like the afterglow — the moment when the storm passes but the air still crackles. It’s more fragile, more tender, but it never becomes innocent. It’s not a love song that reassures you. It’s a love song that pulls you in.

Jen describes the track as “another side of what we have in our hearts,” and that duality is what makes this collaboration feel alive: darkness and light, devotion and desire, softness and control.

Even when the music opens up, the tension remains — because obsession always leaves a trace.

Building the Bliss My Heart x Cliff Estatof World

“Sugar Kapel” also marks a new chapter in the duo’s growing era together, strengthening their signature release path with Cleopatra Records and expanding the emotional range of what they’re building.

Bliss My Heart — founded in Paris in 2020 by Jen Wolf — has always carried the DNA of gothic icons like Bauhaus, Trisomie 21, and The Sisters of Mercy. The project emerged with the EP Morning Star, followed by four singles between 2021 and 2022, before Jen stepped away for two and a half years. During that time, she toured the world as a tour manager and launched her own booking agency, BMH PROD.

Her return in early 2025 with “Suffer Well” (produced by Cliff Estatof) wasn’t just a comeback — it was a reset, described as a “new spiritual beginning.” “Sugar Kapel” continues that rebirth, but with a sharper pop edge and a more dancefloor-ready pulse.

Cliff Estatof brings his own cult legacy and multi-disciplinary intensity to the partnership. Known as the singer, composer, and sound architect behind industrial neo-metal project SPACE CALL — the band responsible for cult albums like Superstar, Synchrotron, and Eating Slowly — Cliff’s production style blends industrial strength with dark, hypnotic melody.

His solo universe stretches even further: from Cliff Tannen’s Pleasure Paradise to his work as a producer, filmmaker, and visual artist, including being named Pixel Artist of the Year (2022/2023/2024) and releasing the heroic-fantasy tale LONGANSS in 2025.

Now, that entire world is merging with Bliss My Heart — and “Sugar Kapel” feels like the clearest snapshot yet of what that fusion sounds like.

The Visual Chapter: “Sugar Kapel” as Cinema

With the “Sugar Kapel” music video adding another layer to the release, the track’s cinematic energy feels fully intentional. This isn’t just a single — it’s part of a universe, a romantic myth built from synths, shadows, and sacred longing.

If “Sinner Sinner” was the confession, “Sugar Kapel” is the prayer.

Final Word

“Sugar Kapel” is what happens when Dark Pop stops being just an aesthetic and becomes a feeling you can’t shake — a track that romanticizes obsession without glamorizing emptiness, that dances through devotion like it’s the only way to survive it.

From Paris, with dark and light, Bliss My Heart x Cliff Estatof deliver a song that feels like a sanctuary… and a temptation.

And once you step inside, you might not want to leave.
