Alexander Rozenbaum — Suno AI prompt

This is bard-chanson, where a song stands or falls on the words and a single guitar. A gravelly, weathered baritone narrates in Russian with cinematic force, tipping toward half-spoken delivery at the dramatic turns, conjuring Cossack riders, Odessa courtyards, seafarers and the fatalism of the street. At its core is virtuosic fingerpicked acoustic guitar — often a twelve-string — sometimes joined by accordion, upright bass, muted trumpet and lightly brushed drums for a tavern swing that flips on a dime from tender waltz to cocky, driving gop-stop. The writing prizes vivid storytelling over hooks, and the recording keeps the grain and breath of a live-in-the-room performance. It is raw, masculine and poetic, a tale told across a table rather than a glossy studio product. Use it for narrative Russian ballads, historical or streetwise vignettes, and voice-and-guitar centrepieces. In Suno, put a gravelly Russian baritone and a fingerpicked twelve-string at the front, add accordion and upright bass, and let the rhythm swing between waltz and swagger.
