Suno prompt

A brooding soul track with high energy and a swung feel at 128 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Electric piano carries the harmony, block chords. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Vinyl crackle adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a warm and analog 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.
