LOST IN THE DARK

CATEGORY: ALTERNATIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCE

Lost in the Dark is a modern reimagining of the 80s power ballad, created by Kavita Baliga with Grammy-winning guitarist Michael Thompson and 33x Grammy-winning/nominated producer/engineer Craig Bauer. In an era of 3-minute streaming singles, this track embraces the long form—smooth vocals juxtaposed by soaring electric guitar power chords, slow dynamic build, vibey synths with 80s drum pads, and a classic fade-out. It’s a nostalgic yet defiant statement, designed to spark joy and strength while reviving a genre that once defined rock history.

​

"Lost in the Dark" is my love letter to the power ballads that shaped me," says Baliga. "It's a reminder that music can make us feel joyful, strong, and alive - it can make you feel unstoppable."

​

The single is available on all streaming platforms worldwide on August 29, 2025.
