Red Guru’s latest is a silky smooth R&B pick-me-up titled ‘Purpose’!
‘What’s my purpose?’ is a question many of us have reflected on several times. That’s the seeking, reaching-ness that Red Guru taps into with this groovy R&B/soul track. Milton Fowlin, the vision behind Red Guru, uses AI transparently as backing vocals for his tracks. But the heart and soul behind his compositions reflect his own lived human experience.
‘Purpose’ opens with soothing bass tones, head-bobbing beats and guru’s soulful vocals. His simple, melodic, poetic prose breaks down his existential crisis, ‘I chase the sun, but its burns my hands’. Lines such as ‘searching in silence for a spark.’ beckon you to listen closer as it’s relatable.
The chorus is a delightfully balanced expression of rhythm and melody. The vocal intensity is tuned up and the backing vocals amplify the effect of his voice while he’s also quoting gems like ‘Am I more than just my reflection?’ Its lines like these that beckon the listener to look deeper, to think a little deeper, and to seek one purpose with more intent.
This is a track you can listen to several times over for just how soothing yet inspiring it is. Uncomplicated, authentic and deep—this is what makes the great tracks stand out. This feels like one of them.
At a time when most of us feel lost and isolated, “purpose” feels like a godsend, a groovy, soulful reminder that we were meant for so much more!
