I believe the answer is:

avocado

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stoned' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a part of an unfinished recording of singer at party produced by a green type' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'part' could be 'do' (do is a kind of part) and 'do' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'an' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that's' acts as a link.
