Suno prompt

A wistful blues track with high energy and a swung feel at 85 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and sizzling cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows a slow linear build. A warm male 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 low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting 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.
