'releases' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'a french composer and soprano's' is the wordplay.
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'composer' becomes 'cage' (I've seen this before).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'soprano' becomes 's' (musical abbreviation).
'un'+'cage'+'s'='UNCAGES'
