Improbability field

Subspace effect that made the crew sing

A field emanating from a naturally occurring subspace fold that imposed the rules of a musical on everyone it touched, forcing the Enterprise crew to sing their private feelings.

The improbability field arises in the Strange New Worlds episode Subspace Rhapsody. Spock and Uhura are studying a subspace fold in the hope of using it to speed up communications, and at Pelia's suggestion they try transmitting music into it.
The fold answers by creating a new reality in which, as in a musical, people burst into song whenever emotions run high. Secrets spill out across the ship, affecting Pike, Una, La'an, Spock and Chapel in particular, and the field begins spreading through the subspace network to other Starfleet vessels and to a Klingon ship.
Uhura works out that only an overwhelming burst of shared feeling will collapse it, and leads the entire crew in a grand finale that closes the fold.
