“Sing-song”

Hello Strands fans! Here's a quick and nice one for you today.

While the theme of “Sing-song” strongly suggests music, I was pushed towards a specific genre by finding both BALLAD and SHANTY along the bottom two lines. This led me to the spangram VOCALMUSIC, just above both, and away I went.

I quickly found LULLABY above the spangram, but it took me a bit of time because I couldn't spell it correctly at all: is there one 'L' or two? Does it have an 'E' at the end? I got there eventually, but it was a tedious struggle.

ARIA was much easier, given that the code was drawn in the upper left corner and there were still only two answers; 'J' led me to JINGLE first, so it was very easy to solve SPIRITUAL and complete the puzzle.
