Neon Hitch
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "height" is not recognized
Neon Hitch (born 25 May 1986) is an English singer and songwriter. She was signed to Mike Skinner and Ted Mayhem's label, The Beats, before it closed down. She was later discovered on MySpace by Benny Blanco, who flew her to New York City to work with him. Their work together earned her a music publishing deal with EMI and a record deal with Warner Bros. Records. Neon's debut album, Eleutheromaniac, is slated for a 2016 independent release.
Early life
Born in Nottingham before moving at a young age to the countryside east of London, Hitch resented her parents for her birth name, Neon, and wanted to change it to something more conventional. Her father was a lighting technician. When their house burned down, her mother, Irene Gardiner, bought a caravan to live in. They then began street performing, making and selling jewellery and clothing around Europe, and consequently, she never attended school. By the age of four, Hitch was travelling and performing with the Archaos circus. At age of ten, she began writing poetry which led to her writing lyrics. Her boyfriend noticed that she could sing and encouraged her to hone her singing. By the time she was in her teens, Hitch was trained as a trapeze artist, fire swinger and stilt walker and had performed across Europe. Her family was featured in a BBC documentary. At the age of sixteen, Hitch moved to India for a few years before resettling in London to start her music career.
Gold (Neon Hitch song)
"Gold" is a song by British singer Neon Hitch. Featuring American rapper Tyga, it was released on 14 August 2012 as the second single from her unreleased debut album Beg, Borrow & Steal. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.
Background and composition
"Gold" was written by Hitch with help from fellow songwriter Claude Kelly as well as producer Benny Blanco and the production team, "The Smeezingtons", the latter two produced the track. "Gold" draws from dance-pop and synthpop genres. In the chorus, the synths fade away as Hitch sings "There's no light in this room / it's alright we got you / you shine like Gold". As the chorus ends, a heavy synth begins and Neon Hitch uses her sing-talk style to continue through the verse. Neon Hitch's style in the chorus was compared to pop singer Britney Spears.
Critical reception
Pop Crush called the single "pure pop bliss", complimenting the catchy lyrics of the song and a better single choice than its predecessor, "Fuck U Betta", because of the more appropriate subject matter.

Midnight Sun
by: Neon HitchIt's always one night one night with you
Room 301 in my dressing gown
Bottle of red wine red wine for two
When the sun comes then I come down
He wanna fuck me like a rockstar
The beetles said all you need is love
But I feel empty as this minibar
And in the morning I'm hungover you
You never say that you love me
No oh oh
You always turn over when we're done
Why won't you say that you love me
Yo oh oh
Two bodies under the midnight sun
I left my diamond gold ring on the table
But you saw right through me and said I don't
That's when I asked and you told me no labels
So why do I come back when I promise I won't
He wanna fuck me like a rockstar
The beetles said all you need is love
But I feel empty as this minibar
And in the morning I'm hungover you
You never say that you love me
No oh oh
You always turn over when we're done
Why won't you say that you love me
Yo oh oh
