The Buzz On: Neon Hitch

If you like your pop music with a bit of A.D.D., a ton of genres, a lot of humor, and, generally, a bit of attitude, then meet Neon Hitch. You're gonna love her.

Neon Hitch is a London-based artist (and one-time roommate of Amy Winehouse) who is the newest star in producer Benny Blanco's constellation.

You may not know Benny Blacno's name, but you certainly know his sound. The songwriter/producer has been on a heck of a roll recently, having a hand in hits by Katy Perry, Ke$ha, 3Oh!3 and more. Call it "trash(ed)-pop." It's extravagant, punky, genre-hopping party music.

Neon Hitch, who did writing work on Ke$ha's newest smash, "Blah Blah Blah," is something of an oddball in this crowd of 24-hour party people. Recently signed to Warner Bros. by American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi, her vocals, on songs like "Blow Ur House Down," (which you can hear at her MySpace) are reminiscent early Erykah Badu, and her music incorporates the very in-vogue sound of dubstep (a sound that heavily influenced Rihanna's Rated R), along with heavy rock guitars and techno pulse that characterizes much of Blanco's production.

While she and Blanco work on her debut album, possibly titled Beg, Borrow And Steal, you can hear Neon Hitch collaborating with 3Oh!3 on the song "Follow Me Down," from the upcoming Alice In Wonderland kind-of soundtrack, Almost Alice.
