The prompt

A wistful hard rock track blending funk with high energy and a straight four-on-the-floor feel at 105 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female 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 melodic lead, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

The source recording is deleted once the analysis finishes, and no lyrics from it are stored. The measurements and classifications are automated estimates, so use them as a starting point and trust your ears.
