Word from Paris to acknowledge musical genre (6)
I believe the answer is:
motown
'musical genre' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'word from paris to acknowledge' is the wordplay.
'word from paris' becomes 'mot' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to acknowledge' becomes 'own' (I've seen this before).
'mot'+'own'='MOTOWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for motown that I've seen before include "Genre of music originally from Detroit" , "Tamla -, US soul music record label" , "Detroit and American record company" , "form of music" , "Detroit's musical export" .)
