Over the past couple months I’ve noticed this Neon Hitch gal popping up all over the internet. At first I wrote her off thinking it was merely her “I don’t give a f*ck” attitude and outside the box style that got her the attention. I blamed it on our strange fascination of watching a pop-culture train wreck unfold in front of our eyes (see Kreayshawn). Then I heard her sing. I was wrong. Neon Hitch basically embodies the voice of Amy Winehouse, the style of Lady Gaga, and the anthem-tendencies of Britney Spears. Listen to her first single “Get Over U” below.
Neon Hitch has had an interesting story so far. She was born in London and grew up in a gypsy-sort of lifestyle as a street performer also working in the circus before running off to India for several years in her teens. Also, yes Neon Hitch is her birth given name. Fortunately her talent was eventually discovered being signed to Warner Bros in early 2010. Hitch recorded what would be a debut album, but from what I’ve seen only select singles like “Get Over U” have been released. She’s not sitting idle though, recently she’s been releasing hip-hop covers including personal favorite Waka Flaka Flame’s “No Hands”.
This girl will be huge soon…then I’ll have to stop liking her.
