In a world that won’t slow down, Al Kenizo invites us to pause here for “A Little More Time,” a wistful contemplation on the transient nature of life and the relentless pursuit of solace. And recorded sans artifice in the most unlikely of studios, his bathroom, of all places, Kenizo proves emotional depth doesn’t require fancy equipment to shimmer, but honesty and heart.
It’s a song of gentle urgency, that time will indeed just slip away through harm as we look for that thing we are meant to feel. A contemplative, stripped-down endeavor with a reflective soul, “A Little More Time” is a dialogue with oneself, albeit one that’s vulnerable, raw, and achingly universal.
It has lingered because it whispers something we all know and rarely say. And yes, there is that business about how Kenizo can conjure complexity from simplicity. From the echo of the room he recorded in to the delivery of the vocals, each was a deliberate, if not dear, choice.
It is a meditation on breath, sensation, and learning to appreciate what counts. Al Kenizo claims his own space, one built on thoughtful introspection, creative vision, and the bravery to stand still in a noisy world. It’s also music that bears itself, that wants to know what we’re doing with that time.
