Embrace strange new musical form (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enwrap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'embrace' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'strange new musical form' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'musical form' becomes 'rap' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'new' anagrammed gives 'enw'.
'enw'+'rap'='ENWRAP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enwrap that I've seen before include "Envelop, enfold" , "Absorb" , "Cover (with paper, etc)" , "put in package" , "Cover completely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
