Suno prompt
A tender folk track with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 118 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a tight and dry snare and sparse dark cymbals. Acoustic guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus 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.
