Suno prompt

A tender gospel track blending R&B with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 85 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and washy crash-led cymbals. 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 lo-fi and saturated 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.
