Female singer in a nightclub, French perhaps (9)

I believe the answer is:

chanteuse

(Other definitions for chanteuse that I've seen before include "Tunes ache for this French woman singer" , "Female popular singer" , "A French woman singer of popular ballads" , "Female cabaret singer" , "She sings popular songs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
