How it works
To talk about an action as a thing, の (of) turns the verb 歌う (sing) into “singing”. Then が (subject) marks that as what someone is good at, and 上手 (good at) describes it, capped by the plain copula だ (is). The final ね (right?) softens it into a shared “…isn't it?”, like a warm compliment.
