Suno prompt

A triumphant 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 rimshot-forward snare and tight closed hats. Clean electric guitar carries 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 lo-fi and saturated 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.
