In a world where we’re constantly chasing time, Al Kenizo offers us a reason to pause with their emotionally charged new single A Little More Time. Slated for release on May 9th, 2025, this introspective track is a deeply personal meditation on loss, memory, and the quiet desperation to hold on to something — or someone — just a little longer.
Hailing from Randwick, Australia, Al Kenizo has never shied away from unconventional approaches to music-making. And in true form, A Little More Time was born not in a flashy studio, but within the intimate, echoing confines of the artist’s own bathroom. That setting — sparse, quiet, and isolated — mirrors the mood of the track itself: stripped back, raw, and emotionally resonant. It’s here that Kenizo finds their flow, allowing vulnerability to shape the very soundscape of the song.
Inspired by a traumatic personal event that left a lasting scar and a sense of unrecoverable time lost, A Little More Timedoesn’t just aim to tell a story — it evokes a shared human experience. Its minimalist production leaves space for the lyrics to breathe, while ambient textures and subdued melodies support a performance that feels both grounded and haunted. There’s a certain fragility in the track — like it could shatter with one wrong note — and that’s what makes it so impactful.
Thematically, Kenizo explores how time, while universal, feels uniquely personal in its effects. As they put it, “the more we have, the less we have.” It’s a line that encapsulates the irony of modern existence: always connected but never quite present, always busy but rarely fulfilled. It’s this duality — between abundance and absence — that lies at the heart of the song.
What also sets A Little More Time apart is its sincerity. There’s no attempt here to chase trends or appeal to commercial expectations. Instead, it’s a song that sits in its own space, asking only that you listen — really listen. And once you do, it lingers. The subtle build, the ambient layering, and the emotional clarity of the vocal performance all work together to create something that feels lived-in and authentic.
Though Al Kenizo doesn’t perform live, the accompanying music video (also created by the artist) promises to offer a visual extension of the song’s themes. Set for release alongside the single, the video is expected to enhance the multi-sensory experience, drawing audiences deeper into Kenizo’s world.
A Little More Time is not just a song — it’s a quiet confession, a sonic diary entry from someone who has seen life shift in an instant. And while its story is personal, its message is one that resonates universally. Time is fleeting. Life is fragile. And sometimes, all we need — or want — is a little more of it.
Al Kenizo may not be on stage or in the spotlight, but with this track, they’ve made their voice heard loud and clear.
