Suno prompt

A triumphant orchestral pop track blending funk with high energy and a swung feel at 176 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and tight closed hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance. Vinyl crackle adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding melodic lead and vocal clarity, 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.
