Ace Harper comes from a dance background and so feels there is a live performance aspect to everything she does. This is no less the case with her writing, which combined with her quirky and colourful music videos, reminds us a great deal of Kate Bush and perhaps Siouxsie And The Banshees, or Toyah Wilcox. Ace’s new single, ‘Neon Heart’, is paired with a slick and colourful, psych and sensual video, which is the perfect match for her upbeat and catchy track.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a mixture of a lot of different genres. There\u2019s definitely a punk attitude, but there\u2019s a new fresh electronic undercurrent. There\u2019s no specific category. I want to invite everybody to the party.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ace further says, in speaking to Jane Smith Agency, that art “has always saved me” and that her goal “is always to say something that I really care about and to love the song.” Ace is a visual artist however, who also loves fashion, and told Galore,<\/div>\n

“I want my show to be a full experience from the songs, to the performance to the fashion. It all tells a story of who I am.”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The video for ‘Neon Heart’ is all about provocative images: the naked female form, cassette tapes, dancers wearing silver\/white wigs reflecting Ace herself. Harper stands out against the cornucopia of colours. Neon lights of course are featured, adding to the very retro, even ‘Barbarella’ feel of the clip.<\/div>\n
