Suno prompt

A brooding soul track with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 82 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and tight closed hats. Electric piano carries the harmony, block chords. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, 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.
