Some cute Norwegian singer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenor

'singer' is the definition.
(I know that tenor is a type of singer)

'some cute norwegian' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'TENOR' is hidden in the letters of 'cute norwegian'.

(Other definitions for tenor that I've seen before include "Male singer with high-pitched voice" , "One singing" , "General drift or meaning" , "Male voice (one of three?)" , "thread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
