Sick Heart

Jazzhouse with a laid-back 4-on-the-floor groove, brushed kick and clipped rim syncopation under smoky Rhodes chords and muted upright bass; verse stays sparse with close-mic lead and soft harmony shadows, pre-chorus opens with filtered chords and snare lifts, chorus lands on a warm vocal hook with stacked doubles and airy ad-libs. Use tape hiss, reversed piano swells, and tiny bell fills between phrases. Intimate, glossy, late-night mix with a dusty club edge.
