Paris Days, Berlin Nights es el sugestivo título con el que Ute Lemper ha bautizado su último trabajo. El número 23 si no tenemos en cuenta las bandas sonoras de películas o musicales en los que ha participado. El lanzamiento, el pasado 20 de marzo, coincide con el inicio de una gira norteamericana que empezó hace unos días en el Kennedy Center de Whasington y terminará el 6 de abril en Quebec, deleitando también a los asiduos que la cantante tiene en ciudades como Vancouver, Los Angeles, Toronto y, por supuesto, Nueva York.
