Lost And Found

Lost & Found is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Ledisi. It was released on August 28, 2007, by Verve Records. Following a career hiatus which reignited her creativity, Ledisi was inspired to create a record with a basis in traditional rhythm and blues that stood apart from contemporary pop. Her collaborations with songwriters and record producers Rex Rideout, Lorenzo Johnson, Colin Stanbeck, and Luther "Mano" Hanes produced a mainstream R&B sound, developing diverse vocal styles and influences from funk, hip hop, and soul music. Debuting on a major recording label, Ledisi eschewed the music of her previous releases in favor of an intimate, personal album. Lyrical themes of Lost & Found emphasize love, empowerment and relaxation, a result of Ledisi considering a maturer message to contend artistic credibility. Lost & Found was promoted in late-2007 and throughout 2008 by television performances and festival appearances, such as Ledisi's performance at the Newport Jazz Festival in August 2008. The album received positive reviews by music critics; several publications included it on their year-end lists.
