Where it comes from

Borrowed from French chanteuse (“female singer”).

noun chanteuses

A female singer; often specifically a popular or cabaret singer. Smith could easily be lumped in with expressive chanteuses like Norah Jones and Alicia Keys, but she has a broader palette than either. On the soulful torch song "Dream," which Smith wrote, she conveys a sophisticated allure that would seem well beyond her twenty-seven years.
Similar: chantress
