Try Free — 5 Songs on SignupStart with your reggae subgenre (Roots Reggae, Dancehall, Dub), add mood and energy descriptors, specify instrumentation details, define vocal style, and finish with production quality tags. Keep it to 6-10 focused tags for best results in Suno.
Use subgenre-specific tags rather than just "reggae". Each reggae subgenre has distinct characteristics. Roots Reggae sounds completely different from Dancehall. Add genre-defining instrumentation and production tags. Suno responds best to specific, well-chosen descriptors.
It depends on the subgenre. Roots Reggae typically uses different vocal approaches than Dancehall. Always specify male or female vocals plus a texture descriptor like smooth, raspy, powerful, or breathy. Without vocal direction, Suno picks randomly and results become inconsistent.
Yes. Add "instrumental" or "no vocals" to your style prompt along with your reggae tags. This works well for reggae since the genre has strong instrumental traditions. Focus on detailed instrumentation and production tags to guide the AI without vocal cues.
The biggest mistakes are using too-generic tags, conflicting descriptors, and forgetting production quality. Always specify a subgenre rather than just "reggae". Avoid mixing contradictory moods. Keep tags focused at 6-10 total. And always include at least one production quality tag for consistent results.
