Create a roots reggae track with live bass, skank guitar, and bubble organ.

then move into a warm verse with mellow vocals. Build toward a layered chorus 
with horns and harmony. Include a dub-style breakdown before final chorus.

Build a high-energy dancehall track with digital drums, synth hits, and toasting vocals.

Let the mood stay romantic and hopeful. Start with a brief chord progression intro, then bring in a soulful 
female vocal. Include a key change in the bridge to elevate emotion.
