There’s something quietly captivating about Our Time In The Sun, the new EP from Nigerian alternative singer, songwriter, and producer Celeste Ojatula. Across five self-produced tracks, Celeste invites listeners into a world shaped by reflection, hope, love, and the endless possibilities that come with dreaming about the future. The result is a project that feels deeply personal while remaining universally relatable.
Built around her delicate vocals and expressive guitar work, the EP unfolds like a collection of journal entries from different stages of life. Rather than rushing from one idea to the next, Celeste allows each song to breathe, creating space for emotion to settle and resonate. Her songwriting carries an intimacy that makes listeners feel like trusted companions on the journey.
The project’s rich sonic palette blends Afropop, Highlife, Folk, Soul, and R&B influences, while remaining rooted in a distinctly personal artistic vision. Collaborations with Rhaffy, Dwin, The Stoic, Ayofawo, and Anabel Rose add fresh dimensions without overshadowing Celeste’s voice at the center of the narrative.
“Oya Wa” featuring Rhaffy immediately stands out as one of the EP’s brightest moments. Driven by vibrant percussion and infectious energy, the track celebrates living in the present and embracing life as it comes. Elsewhere, This Side Of Love explores the complexities of modern romance, while New Memory leans into healing and emotional renewal. Traveler, featuring Anabel Rose, expands the project’s horizons with a sense of wanderlust and possibility. The title track serves as a beautiful instrumental pause, relying on atmosphere and texture to create a moment of reflection.
What makes Our Time In The Sun especially compelling is its sincerity. Celeste isn’t chasing trends or grand statements. Instead, she offers an honest portrait of growth, aspiration, and self-discovery. It’s a project that encourages listeners to imagine who they might become while appreciating where they are right now.
As Celeste prepares for her international debut at SXSW London, this EP feels like the perfect introduction to an artist confidently stepping into her moment.
“With Our Time In The Sun, Celeste Ojatula transforms personal reflection into a beautifully immersive listening experience, delivering a collection of songs that radiate warmth, vulnerability, and quiet ambition.
