'taking off the record' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'upset a singer' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'singer'='asinger'
'asinger' with letters rearranged gives 'ERASING'.

'will' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erasing that I've seen before include "obliterating memory" , "Removing" , "Getting rid of" , "Rubbing out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Irish Independent.
