BEHOLD: The debut video for Neon Hitch‘s “Get Over U.”
After Arjan Writes debuted the MuuMuse Approved track a few weeks ago, Idolator just snagged the premiere of Hitch’s Benny Blanco produced, Sia co-penned buzz track, “Get Over U.”
The gorgeous clip, shot by Jason Bergh, follows the fiery siren’s trek from the trailer park to the sea and back as she goes and gets all gypsy-like in response to a rather hostile situation back at home. Flowing robes, glass bottles, tarot cards, rose petals–you name it, she’s divining it!
You know, I’m really quite smitten with the Hitch. She’s like a breath of fresh–err, salty air.
Voice is top notch, the style feels authentic, and the background story is absolutely amazing for any pop starlet-to-be. (A little fire swinging, anyone?) Plus, this whole whimsical, bohemian pop styling reminds me a bit of a young Stevie Nicks.
I’m even getting a more fanciful Ke$ha vibe about her! You know, like…if you washed off the vomit and wrenched the Jack Daniel’s from K$’s glitter-drenched hand and replaced it with a bottle of freshly scooped seawater and sand. Am I entirely off the mark? I don’t know. Maybe it’s just the nose ring.
Regardless: This one’s just been doubly MuuMuse Approved. Absolutely L-O-V-E!
Neon Hitch’s debut album, Beg, Borrow and Steal, will be released later in 2011.
If you’re feeling like me lately, you don’t want to wait…you want it NOW.
Well, here’s something good that ought to briefly quench your thirst!
After producing some truly sublime remixes for songs like Sia‘s “Clap Your Hands” and RóisÃn Murphy‘s “Momma’s Place,” Prince Vince has decided to give Britney‘s latest global smash some lovin’.
MuuMuse is proud to premiere the Prince Vince remix of Britney’s “Hold It Against Me.”
Prince Vince has shaken and stirred Brit’s original track to bits and pieces, adding winding, blippy synthesizers, chopping up the vocals, and adding in a heaping helping of electro-licious beats.
The mix quickly whips its way through several different sounds at breakneck speed, diving down to a slapping bass beat before picking back up with the help of surging synthesizers and glitchy electronica. It’s truly a trip!
Best part of all? The repetition of the “Alright, alright, alright…” bit at the very end. Perfection!
So go ahead…POP IT LIKE A HOOD!

MuuMuse Approved Tracks for the Week of January 23, 2011
5. Koda Kumi – POP DIVA
J-Pop temptress Koda Kumi’s gone bolder than ever on her 49th single! “POP DIVA” is a brag-filled outburst of pounding beats and wild screeches that rides atop a stinging bass-line similar to the Far East Movement’s “Like A G6.” It’s noisy, it’s erratic–but ultimately, it’s utterly Kumi. (LISTEN)
4. Adam Tyler – I Won’t Let You Go
Up-and-coming L.A. musician Adam Tyler returns with his second single–a gorgeous, heartbreaking electro-pop scorcher that builds and builds with intensity as the song progresses. One to watch in 2011! (LISTEN)
3. Jennifer Lopez – On The Floor (feat. Pitbull)
Kicking off her latest stint as a judge on American Idol’s tenth season, J-Lo premiered the first single from her upcoming album, LOVE?, to radio this week. The spicy songstress enlisted Gaga hit-maker RedOne to produce this floor filler, which capitalizes on all the popular club sounds of late, including the European pulsations of Yolanda Be Cool’s “We No Speako Americano” and Edward Maya’s “Stereo Love.” It’s no “Waiting For Tonight,” but it’s still a proper call to arms. Take it on the floor! (LISTEN)
2. Mya – Fabulous Life
The time is now! Mya seizes the day in this glittery, gleeful electro-pop confection co-produced by J-Pop mastermind Jeff Miyahara and Swedish sensation, Fredro. While this pop treat may only be released in Japan, “Fabulous Life” packs more than enough sparkle and shines to provide universal appeal. (LISTEN)
1. Neon Hitch – Get Over U
You haven’t even debuted yet, and you’re already making me cry at the discotheque? Of all the bad girls, you’re badder than most, Neon Hitch. With sad, stomping synthesizers ourtesy of Benny Blanco and a sorrowful vocal melody contributed by co-writer Sia, “Get Over U” plays like a 2011 continuation of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” proving that the upcoming debut by this whimsical pop gypsy is definitely worth waiting for. (LISTEN)
Well, here’s a song that’s good.
Neon Hitch is the self-described gypsy type who’s been all the rage over the interwebz as of late as one of pop’s most intriguing up-and-coming chanteuses. (No, but really, she’s got quite the colorful background–she used to be in the circus as both a trapeze artist and a fire swinger for one thing.)
After inking a publishing gig with EMI and co-penning/singing back up for acts like Ke$ha (“Blah Blah Blah”) and 3OH!3 (“Follow Me Down”), Hitch was signed to Warner Bros. Records by fellow songwriter and former American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi in 2010.
Today, the singer just premiered her soon-to-be debut single on ArjanWrites. Spoiler Alert: It’s fantastic.
Produced by Benny Blanco and co-penned by Sia, “Get Over U” is a twinkling, stomping sad disco melody filled with warm, lush synthesizers and dramatic strings. It’s incredibly hypnotic, romantic and hopelessly infectious–the type of stuff that we gag about over here at the MuuMuse. You know, like Kylie Minogue‘s “The One” or Namie Amuro‘s “Come.” In other words: I die.
Plus, the entire vocal melody absolutely screams Sia (in other words, “quality!”), especially during the chorus–so much so that it’s entirely possible she’s featured in the background vocals.
It’s essentially Robyn‘s “Dancing On My Own” for 2011, isn’t it?
According to a member of the PopJustice forums, this will be Neon Hitch’s debut single and a video has already been shot.
No clue on how the world will take to this one just yet, but I’m officially pumped.
In case you haven’t heard, Kimberly Wyatt‘s transformed from a pussycat into a wolf.
Since the official dissolution of The Pussycat Dolls last year, the leggy blonde bombshell has embarked on a variety of exciting new ventures, including a judging role on the UK’s Got To Dance and a smash hit feature on Aggros Santos infectious springtime single, “Candy.”
But perhaps most exciting of all her current endeavors is Her Majesty & The Wolves, a dance-based musical partnership struck up between Wyatt and former member of electro-pop duo Jupiter Rising, Spencer Nezey. After the release of a buzz single (“Glaciers”), the duo premiered their first official single in November: “Stars In Your Eyes,” a thumping space-pop affair.
A few weeks ago, I got the opportunity to ask Kimberly and Spencer a few questions about their hotly anticipated collaboration, which is set to explode in 2011. If you couldn’t tell from the steadily increasing amount of exclamation marks contained in each of their answers, they’re pretty excited about it. LET’S DO THIS!!!
