BTW: For her big-label debut, Walsh tells P&P she wanted "to pour my colorful personality into the music and make 'Lost in the Lights' a record people will love always." But she finds it hard to pick out which track best represents her. "There are many aspects of my personality throughout my record," she says, "which means it's difficult to say one song is 'me' more than another. The title 'Lost in the Lights' is what overall sums me up ... lost in the wonder of life at all times." Click here for a full P&P interview.
