Suno prompt
A restless trap track with high energy and a swung feel at 74 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a rhythmic and percussive performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated 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.
