Monet for one's ears
With a voice such as this, this album is as beautiful as it is haunting. With tracks like the unusual "Tango Ballad" with Neil Hannon (of the Divine Comedy), a jewel on this album, as Ute herself calls it, "Little Water Song" written by none other than Mr. Nick Cave, and the beautifully sad "Split" also with Neil Hannon, it is well worth a listen, especially for fans of real vocal talent.
Another impressive blonde!
The statuesque Ute is a beauty so monumental, she's almost architectural. And she's got a voice and delivery to match, plus on this album, a taste for superb material. My favourites are the Nick Cave, Elvis Costello and Tom Waits songs, but what is really impressive is how her voice holds together the Scott Walker song Scope J (If one can call it a song). Anyone who can sing along to, let alone intelligently interpret, such a bizarre and dark little symphony, deserves 5 stars just for the effort. I like my divas dark and brooding, like Nico of Velvet Underground, so Ute fits the bill. Investigate and enjoy!
