Suno prompt

A tender reggae track with high energy and a syncopated feel at 94 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing sparse and syncopated, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Field-recording ambience adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding vocal clarity and low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting 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.
