Background edit
In an interview with Billboard's Jason Lipshutz, Hitch stated on the making of the EP, "We locked ourselves in the studio for a week and just made music constantly. It turned out to be this whole EP, and there's no way we couldn't call it Happy Neon".[2]
Critical reception edit
Jason Lipshutz of Billboard claimed: "[Happy Neon] combines sleek, arena–ready pop production with intimate lyrics that capture the 26–year–old at a pivotal moment in her young career. 'Pink Fields', for instance, concludes a wrenching vocal performance with an infectious refrain, while 'Jailhouse' finds Hitch pleading to 'Please set me free!' as stuttering percussion creates the walls of her conceptual prison."[2]
Songs edit
A music video for "Pink Fields" was released on 6 March 2013, and a music video for "Midnight Sun" was released on 30 April 2013.[3][4]
