Lost & Found is Melissa Tkautz's second album, released in 2005.

Background

In early 2005, Melissa Tkautz appeared at ARQ nightclub in Sydney for the Retrosexual theme night, performing re-worked versions of her hit songs "Read My Lips" and "Sexy (Is The Word)". The crowd showed that the applause and enthusiasm for Melissa was still as strong as ever and JRB Music & Management promptly signed Melissa to a new recording contract. Melissa returned to the recording studio and put down her first single in over ten years - a cover of the Prince produced, Sheila E classic, "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.

Lost & Found is the second studio album by Melissa Tkautz, released in the Australia on 4 December 2005. Produced by Paul Wiltshire (Backstreet Boys, Anthony Callea), and partly co-written by Tkautz.
