Overpowering crew wave in chorus (14)
I believe the answer is:
steamrollering
'overpowering crew' is the definition.
'steamrollering' can be an answer for 'overpowering' (steamrollering is a kind of overpowering). I am not certain of the 'crew' bit.
'wave in chorus' is the wordplay.
'wave' becomes 'roller' (roller is a kind of wave).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'chorus' becomes 'steaming' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'roller' put within 'steaming' is 'STEAMROLLERING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
