Suno prompt

A tender funk track with driving energy and a swung feel at 130 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows a slow linear build. An electric guitar leads, carrying the melody in long phrases. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding melodic lead 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.
