Yes, but you would need a license to reproduce the recording of someone else's instrumental, if you're planning to distribute it anywhere. 17 USC § 115.

Yes, you can copyright your vocals over someone's instrumental. Copyright protection extends to original works of authorship, including musical compositions and sound recordings. As long as your vocals were recorded with permission over the instrumental and meet the requirements for copyright protection, you can obtain copyright protection for your vocals.
