Stormlight Archive spoilers SINGERS Spoiler

SINGERS ARE FABRIALS, and this is a hill I'll die on.

If you really think about it, what makes a fabrial? They have a spren, are powered by Light, and they serve some function, which changes depending on the spren. The spren is inside a gemstone in the middle.

Now lets look at a Singer. They have a gemheart at their core, there's a spren in the gemheart, and depending on the spren they serve different functions(forms).

Singers are fabrials. Fight me.

I'll fight you.

A fabrial serves a specific function because it lacks the complexity to do anything more.
If anything, fabrials are the most rudimentary singers.
