Salt Water Soul

Write Afrofusion/alté English lyrics for a warm, buttery male vocal that slips between laid-back rapped verses and falsetto-sung choruses, with subtle pidgin inflections. Narrate a spontaneous late-night adventure around Accra’s coastal beach bars: chasing a stranger with a hand-painted jute bag, sharing cold palm wine under string lights, and laughing through unexpected rain that doesn’t ruin the vibe, leaning into quiet, giddy infatuation and easy, unplanned joy. Music parameters: 122 BPM, D major, core instrumentation: dundun drum patterns interlocking with lo-fi electronic drums, slapping melodic bass, fingerpicked highlife guitar, warped psychedelic synth pads, soft trombone accents, and shekere layers. Emotion: sun-kissed, playful, and effortlessly cool, with gentle rhythmic swing.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Yellow lights on the sand Jute bag in your hand I dey follow where you go Make we take it slow Wave prints on the strap We don't need a map [Pre-Chorus] Palm wine in the cup Drink it till it's up Underneath the string lights Everything is just right [Chorus] Oh, you make me fly High up in the sky Rain starts to fall We don't care at all Dancing in the sweet breeze Doing what we please [Verse] Labadi breeze is warm We don't fear the storm Your laughter is a tune Underneath the moon You slip through the crowd Music playing loud [Pre-Chorus] Palm wine cold and sweet Sand beneath our feet Underneath the string lights Everything is just right [Chorus] Oh, you make me fly High up in the sky Rain starts to fall We don't care at all Dancing in the sweet breeze Doing what we please [Bridge] No time to pretend Be my special friend Accra nights are gold Stories to be told Hold me close tonight Till the morning light [Chorus] Oh, you make me fly High up in the sky Rain starts to fall We don't care at all Dancing in the sweet breeze Doing what we please [Outro]
