How to use it
'Singular' means unique, remarkable, or singular. Invariable for gender. Can also be the grammatical term for singular number. In the unique/remarkable sense it is used with ser and often placed after the noun. Distinguish from 'único' (the only one).
Common mistake
Don't confuse 'singular' (remarkable/unique quality) with 'único' (the only one in existence) — 'singular' highlights exceptionality, 'único' means sole.
