Suno prompt
A wistful soul track blending orchestral pop with high energy and a swung feel at 109 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and tight closed hats. Grand piano carries the harmony, block chords. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Analog hiss 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.
