Singer had electrifying clothes (5)
I believe the answer is:
adele
'singer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'had electrifying clothes' is the wordplay.
'clothes' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the letters clothe the hidden word).
'ADELE' can be found hidden inside 'had electrifying'.
(Other definitions for adele that I've seen before include "Performer" , "Female singer from London" , "Female English singer-songwriter, b. 1988" , "Popular female singer" , "girl" .)
