Suno prompt

A triumphant funk track with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 92 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a clap-layered snare and sizzling cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A breathy female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Vinyl crackle adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious 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.

About this page

This is an independent acoustic analysis. Tempo and key are measured from the audio; instrumentation and production characteristics are classified against a fixed vocabulary. The source recording is deleted once the analysis finishes, and no lyrics from it are stored.

Planetary Records is not affiliated with Sade. The prompt describes musical characteristics and does not reproduce the recording. The only audio hosted here is our own Suno rendering of that prompt.
