Suno prompt
A serene gospel track with driving energy and a swung feel at 65 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a tight and dry snare and sparse dark cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, swelling and cinematic. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a soaring and sustained performance, joined by a breathy female vocal layered in close harmony. Analog hiss 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.
