Suno prompt

A restless afrobeats track with explosive energy and a syncopated feel at 103 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a brushed snare and sizzling cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a open and dynamic style, foregrounding vocal clarity and low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting 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.
