Vocalist, Spice Girl, slopes off part-way through (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
gospel singer
'vocalist spice' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'girl slopes off part-way through' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'ginger' (feminine given name).
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'part way through' indicates putting letters inside.
'slopes' anagrammed gives 'ospels'.
'ginger' going around 'ospels' is 'GOSPEL SINGER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
