crooned
Murmured a melody
Crooned is the past tense of croon, meaning to sing or hum in a soft, low, soothing voice.
The word often suggests romantic or sentimental delivery: He crooned love songs into the microphone.
Crooning became associated with mid-twentieth-century pop singers like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, who used intimate vocal styles suited to radio and recording.
