Lost is truely a new start for the artist. A break from her usual ethnic influenced pop, soul and fado style, Lost is an alternative electropop tune. The official music video reflects the singer’s transformation, exhibiting a uniqueness reminiscent of Björk or Sia.
Lost was written by Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan and Blush, produced by Brody Brown. Mixed and mastered by Chris Tek O’ Ryan, Grundman and Joe Bozzi, the music video was directed by Voyeurized.
Lost is now available for digital download or streaming. For more information about the reinvented Hind, visit Laroussi’s official social media (Facebook, YouTube).
