Suno prompt

A tender folk track with explosive energy and a swung feel at 81 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a tight and dry snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Acoustic guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a restrained and conversational performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding vocal clarity and low-end weight, built on extended seventh chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
