belter

Loud, powerful singer

A belter is something outstanding or impressive—a powerful performance, a great song, or any remarkable thing: That goal was an absolute belter.

In British slang, it often describes a tune you can belt out: The band closed with a belter.

The word carries enthusiastic approval, suggesting something that hits hard or stands out from the ordinary.
