Suno prompt

A brooding reggae track with high energy and a syncopated feel at 90 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing sparse and syncopated, under an acoustic drum kit with a tight and dry snare and sizzling cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows verse-chorus. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Vinyl crackle adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and low-end weight, built on simple triad 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.
