Singer-songwriter Jacques (4)

I believe the answer is:

brel

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'singer' is the first definition.
(Belgian singer Jacques Brel)

'songwriter jacques' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for brel that I've seen before include "Jacques ___ , Belgian singer, d. 1978" , "Belgian songwriter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
