croons

Sings low, sweet

Croons is the third-person singular of croon, meaning to sing or hum in a soft, soothing voice.

The word evokes gentle, romantic vocals—the style of classic crooners like Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra: She croons a lullaby to the baby.

Someone might also croon words of comfort or affection: He croons sweet nothings in her ear.
