On Permanently Confused, Ute Lemper is able to craft a soft and inviting composition that succeeds by her vocal abilities. The backing instrumentation keeps fairly quiet to provide ample opportunity for Ute to tell her story. In those moments where the percussive elements wash over the track, the single ends up being freshened up. Lemper’s inimitable performance ensures that the song will appease fans of a wide swath of different musical styles, even as the resulting track feels fully different from anything else we’ve covered in recently memory. Permanently Confused is a fantastic addition to Lemper’s discography. Check out the video for the single below.
We previously covered Lemper’s Time Traveler back in 2023.
