Singer-songwriter Anja Elise released a new single earlier this month, which is the first we’ve heard from her since 2020. Co-written with Elise’s mother Lisa Friegang and local musician Dallas Brown, this song is dedicated to family members who tragically passed from cancer in a short period of time. Its confrontation of loss is taken by the hand by the spirits of those passed, creating a profound sense of guidance that is poignant as it is heartening. Concluding with a beautiful instrumental of violin, viola and piano, Anja Elise’s “The Lost One” powerfully captivates closure by means of spiritual comfort and sedulously moving forward.
