Suno prompt
A tender soul track with high energy and a swung feel at 94 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. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Subtle bitcrush 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 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.
