Lost & Found is the second studio album by Australian singer Melissa Tkautz, released in 2005.

Background[edit]

In early 2005, Melissa Tkautz appeared at Sydney nightclub ARQ for the venue's Retrosexual theme night, where she sang reworked versions of her hit songs "Read My Lips" and "Sexy (Is The Word)". Following the performance, JRB Music & Management signed Tkautz to a new recording contract.

In the following months, Tkautz recorded her first new single in over ten years - a cover of the Prince-produced, Sheila E song, "The Glamorous Life" which debuted at Number 6 on both the ARIA Dance Chart and the ARIA Australasian Chart and reached Number 8 on the ARIA Club Chart.

The follow-up single "All I Want" was released in November 2005.

Lost & Found was released in Australia a month later, on December 4. A number of tracks on the album were co-written by Tkautz and produced by Paul Wiltshire (Backstreet Boys, Anthony Callea).
