Chicago-based Japanese-American composer and songwriter Sen Morimoto has released Time Is on Your Side via Sooper Records, the independent artist-run label he co-founded. Following 2023's critically lauded Diagnosis, the nine-track release navigates fertile ground between jazz harmony, alternative pop, and hip-hop cadence.
Morimoto constructed the project alongside a trusted cohort of Chicago musicians, including Kaina Castillo, drummer Ryan Person, bassist Elijah Bradford, and engineer Brok Mende. Their collaborative arrangements thread syncopated rhythms, brass swells, and delicate string lines around Morimoto's understated vocals on tracks like "Leave It All Behind", "Flashback", and "Chewing Gum".
At the thematic core of the record lies a critique of modern digital urgency and the demand for continuous content creation. Morimoto embraces deliberate patience, championing songs that took years of incubation alongside spontaneous first-take improvisations to challenge the exhausting feedback loops of hyper-accelerated social feeds.
In a culture obsessed with speed, pausing to allow creative ideas their natural lifecycle feels undeniably rebellious. Immerse yourself in eclectic songwriting across our experimental pages and read the latest artist profiles in our news archive.
