'singer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'model coming back with german opening track' is the wordplay.
'model' becomes 'sit' (e.g. for a painting).
'coming back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'with german' becomes 'mit' ('with' in German).
'opening' indicates putting letters inside (some letters open a gap in others).
'track' becomes 'path' (synonyms).
'sit' reversed gives 'tis'.
'tis'+'mit'='tismit'
'tismit' placed within 'path' is 'PATTI SMITH'.

'and' acts as a link.
