Suno prompt

A restless blues track with explosive energy and a swung feel at 146 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and tight closed hats. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked, with saxophone. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A gritty male vocal delivers a restrained and conversational performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a open and dynamic style, foregrounding vocal clarity 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.
