Suno prompt

A brooding reggae track with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 90 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a tight and dry snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A warm male 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 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.
