The prompt
A tender R&B track blending soul with driving energy and a straight four-on-the-floor feel at 125 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a clap-layered snare and shimmering open hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, block chords. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding vocal clarity and atmospheric space, built on lush ninth and eleventh chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

The source recording is deleted once the analysis finishes, and no lyrics from it are stored. The measurements and classifications are automated estimates, so use them as a starting point and trust your ears.
