Lewd European singer in soul performance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lecherous

'lewd' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'european singer in soul performance' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'singer' becomes 'cher' (Cher is a US musician).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'performance' indicates anagramming the letters.
'e'+'cher'='echer'
'soul' anagrammed gives 'lous'.
'echer' going within 'lous' is 'LECHEROUS'.

(Another definition for lecherous that I've seen is " Lustful".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
