Suno prompt

A melancholy R&B track blending soul with explosive energy and a syncopated feel at 111 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a cracking and compressed snare and tight closed hats. Grand piano carries the harmony, arpeggiated. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on simple triad 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.
