Ute Lemper’s Time Traveler is one of the most fascinating songs we’ve covered in NeuFutur. The track adopts influences from mid-1970s easy listening, funk, and soul performers all while furthering an absolutely inimitable set of vocals. There are multiple layers here that will continue to yield new twists and turns each time one queues up the song. This is an experience much more than a simple pop track. What is most beautiful about Lemper’s latest is that it can be enjoyed as the artist statement it is, or it can be purely understood as fitting in among the most radio-friendly efforts from the era. Time Traveler has something for everyone who tucks in.
