"I've been writing for the last year and the songs have been gushing out," he told TheInsider.com. "I'm doing this mostly to get it out of me because it's cathartic but I also think the songs are pretty f*cking good. I've been writing with Sia and I'm just so excited for people to hear what we've been working on!"

And you finally can hear the goods as Drive, the lead single off his upcoming EP of the same name, has premiered online. And just because the accompanying video is animated, don't take that as a sign Cheyenne isn't willing to flaunt some flesh in future music videos in order to sell CDs. "I've used sex to sell everything in my whole career, so why stop now," he laughs.

But more than anything else, Cheyenne is excited as the act of making music has reinvigorated his passion for singing. "I'm a little dramatic so I can say this, but it's kind of exploded my head in that it's what I think I'm meant to do -- at least my mom thinks so." Give the song a spin and see if Mrs. Jackson is right!
