Red Guru Blends Melody and AI Experimentation on the Mesmerizing Hip-Hop Track “The Tide”

Red Guru, aka Milton Fowlin, has released an AI-assisted track titled, “The Tide.” Hailing from Lee, England, Milton comes across as an artist who has clearly spent years around music production and songwriting. His background feels very wide musically, with influences that stretch from classical composition to hip-hop, rock, soul, R&B, Motown, and blues. While listening to his work, that mix of influences is very beautiful to listen to. What stood out to me is how he approaches music like both a producer and an experimenter, always curious about new ways to build a track.

“Red Guru is a producer who blends classic musical instincts with modern experimentation, creating songs that move freely across genres.”

“The Tide” instantly pulled me in with its melodic vibe, which is interesting because it still sits comfortably within the hip-hop space. The vocals have a mesmerizing quality that keeps you locked into the mood of the track. I really enjoyed the way the song moves through different octaves, creating these subtle highs and lows that make you anticipate the next beat. The production stands out because even though the track is AI-assisted, it still feels very real and emotionally grounded. The hypnotic piano motif that started when Red Guru hummed a melody sets the tone for the whole song. The overall sound flows smoothly between hip-hop rhythm, pop accessibility, and a warm R&B feel.
