Ute Lemper - Crimes of the Heart '1989

Tracks list

Crimes of the heart signals Ute Lempers first successful solo attempt in
recording an album that makes her dramatic voice accessible to a large audience.
The album contains lyrics in the three languages Ute has perfect command of: her
native German in Und wenn er wiederkommt, a song that was also recorded by
Marlene Dietrich, with whom Ute shares her timeless beauty, French in Envie
damour and English in the other songs. The album stands out in that it is both
interesting to listen to in concentration as well as serves as pleasant
atmospheric music that blends in with, lets say, a dinner setting. Whereas Utes
wide vocal range and dynamic dramatic abilities are better heard on some of her
other recordings, Crimes of the heart provides the listener with Utes smoothest
performance to date. That explains why none of the tracks really stands out on
this album which is outstanding as a whole. Crimes of the heart was recorded in
1989 and has seen two different releases; one includes opening track A man and a
woman, which is not included on the other, which contains Sabotage and Wherever
the dream takes me instead.
