Connor Riesen’s EP, All This Time, captures the excitement and vulnerability of new love through a polished pop-ballad approach. Written for his girlfriend when their relationship was just beginning, the EP’s central idea is refreshingly sincere: sometimes the best way to express feelings is through a memorable melody.
The release also reflects years of development behind the scenes. Riesen began studying piano as a child before choosing to teach himself, later expanding his musical foundation through school band and French horn. His interest in composing eventually grew into digital production, leading to his 2022 debut album, In My Mind.
Since then, Riesen has steadily broadened his creative palette. His subsequent projects have moved through pop, jazz, collaborative songwriting, and piano-centered work, demonstrating a willingness to experiment rather than settle into one sound. All This Time, released in 2025, sits comfortably within that continuing evolution while returning to the emotional directness of his earlier writing.
For listeners drawn to independent artists with a personal story behind their music, All This Time offers an earnest introduction to Riesen’s evolving artistic identity and his ambitions as a producer and composer.
