“I've got a song in my heart”
💡🔵🟡🔵

Hi Strands fans. For some reason I struggled to get started today, and was kicking myself when the clue revealed the word SINGER spelt out down the left-hand side.
I immediately spotted the spangram above it, having used "belt" as one of my clue words. It was, of course, BELTITOUT.
Now I just needed to find synonyms for SINGER. VOCALIST was an obvious one to its left, which just left CROONER in the bottom-right corner to complete the section.
Two words remained in the top half. CHORISTER was on the left, with BALLADEER to its right to complete the puzzle.

Strands #974
“High and mighty”

Hi Strands fans. I lucked my way into completing this puzzle without clues, as I didn't have any idea of what the theme of "High and mighty" might mean.
But then I accidentally connected SNOW along the right-hand side.
I subsequently found GLACIER underneath, and PEAK alongside, leaving a clear path for the spangram of MOUNTAINTOP.
CLIFF was in the top-right corner, with SUMMIT to its left.
RIDGE was below that, simply leaving SADDLE spelt backwards up the left-hand side to complete the puzzle. I'm lucky I didn't find that word first, as I had no idea it could mean something to do with mountains!
