Black singer's uplifting set follows big swings (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oscillates

'swings' is the definition.
(oscillating is a kind of swinging)

'black singer's uplifting set follows big' is the wordplay.
'black singer' becomes 'cilla' (singer Cilla Black).
'uplifting' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'follows' says to put letters next to each other.
'big' becomes 'os'.
'set' backwards is 'tes'.
'cilla'+'tes'='cillates'
'cillates' put after 'os' is 'OSCILLATES'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
