In 1990, she released the single "Ein Tag wie heut'", the German cover version of the Whitney Houston world hit "One Moment in Time", as Ute Freudenberg. Four years later, Ute Freudenberg's first longplayer followed with the title Und da fragst du noch? Further albums and numerous TV appearances in various music programs followed in the years to come. In 2011, Ute Freudenberg, together with Christian Lais and the album Ungeteilt, achieved a real top hit at number 14. The longplayer goes gold. Ute Freudenberg then regularly recorded albums with Christian Lais and achieved top positions in the German charts. However, Ute Freudenberg has also enjoyed success as a solo artist to this day.
