Microphone capturing American singing? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

music

'singing?' is the definition.
(singing is a kind of music)

'microphone capturing american' is the wordplay.
'microphone' becomes 'mic'.
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'american' becomes 'us'.
'mic' placed around 'us' is 'MUSIC'.

(Other definitions for music that I've seen before include "(Pleasant) sequence of sounds" , "Harmonious sounds" , "Aural entertainment" , "Art (of noise)" , "Vocal or instrumental sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
