Suno prompt
A tender jazz track blending soul with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 140 BPM. The low end is 808 bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a clap-layered snare and sizzling cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. 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 melodic lead and vocal clarity, built on lush ninth and eleventh chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.
Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
