Suno prompt

A serene soul track blending R&B with driving energy and a syncopated feel at 76 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a tight and dry snare and shimmering open hats. Grand piano carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on lush ninth and eleventh 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.
