It’s been a hot minute since my college days, but I do remember learning about singing as one possible avenue of speech therapy in one of my classes. Something about using different parts of the brain I guess.
Yup, it’s a different part of the brain. My wife’s speech and memory are still worse for wear after she suffered a series of strokes in her left hemisphere several years ago, but she can belt out any tune she’s heard in the past fifty years like it was nothing.

It’s a key part of the movie The Kings Speech too.
It’s just that normally it’s difficult to only sing all the time.
I wonder where the delineation between singing and rapping is in this case.
