Diandra, “Lost”

Finnish superstar Diandra rose to fame on the Finnish version of Idol (oh, you didn’t watch? Shame on you now) before making a major impact with her dance number “Outta My Head,” but her latest single “Lost” might be her best yet: A stunning midtempo ballad with a pounding dance chorus, it’s the sort of cut that Leona Lewis should be recording right now — and her vocal delivery is nothing short of extraordinary. Let me know when American DJs pick up on this.
