Words that rhyme with Province
Province, a two-syllable unguarded everyday word, lands its weight on the clipped /ษช/ and spills into a fricative. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Two readings: as data โ perfect rhymes are not on the table, the family column is blank, the assonance pool runs into the thousands; as lyric โ a workaday word. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why province rhymes the way it does
Pull province apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 7,523, and consonance 18. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Province pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
