Suno prompt

A restless reggae track blending soul with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 83 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and sizzling cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
