"You find yourself waiting in line, if only to pass the time. Are you lonely, Adeline?" This line from the key track of Noush Skaugen's debut full-length album, Lost and Found, is just one instance of the album reaching out and connecting with its audience. The raw emotion and style that the album exudes is unique, and shows how effortlessly this British artist's presence and intriguing style bring a welcome breath of fresh air. Skaugen, whose influences come from a diverse list of classic songwriters including Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones and U2 among others, was also writing material for Lost and Found for most of that year. Skaugen's driving inspiration is her mother, who passed away from breast cancer. The album is this Skaugen's story, and each song is a chapter from her life. Her upbringing in the U.K., time in France and now the States has undeniably added a special flavor to this burgeoning talent, which some describe as a Stevie Nicks blended with a female Mick Jagger.
