Suno prompt
A tender funk track blending afrobeats with explosive energy and a swung feel at 111 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and tight closed hats. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Field-recording ambience adds texture, with a slapback 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 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.
