After wrecking ute, she can become a singer (9)
I believe the answer is:
chanteuse
'a singer' is the definition.
(French term for a female singer)
'after wrecking ute she can' is the wordplay.
'after wrecking' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'ute'+'she'+'can'='uteshecan'
'uteshecan' is an anagram of 'CHANTEUSE'.
'become' is the link.
(Other definitions for chanteuse that I've seen before include "Female singer, in a nightclub perhaps" , "A French female nightclub singer" , "A French woman singer of popular ballads" , "Female popular singer" , "French female singer in tune chase" .)
