Celeste Ojatula has released a new project titled ‘Our Time in the Sun.’ The five-track EP is the singer and multi-instrumentalist’s sophomore project, coming off the back of ‘Alo,’ her debut project from 2024 and the subsequent live version, which came about four months later. This latest offering continues Ojatula’s exploration of diverse musical landscapes, showcasing her growth and range as an artist since her debut.
The new EP’s lead single, “Traveler,” which features Anabel Rose, arrived in late 2025. EDM heavyweight Sons of Ubuntu released a dance remix of the soulful single earlier this year, giving it vibrant new energy and expanding its reach into the electronic music space. The remix was followed by a new single, ‘This Side Of Love,’ a duet with frequent collaborator Dwin, The Stoic, and an announcement of the new EP.
Across the EP’s five tracks of ‘Our Time in the Sun,‘ Ojatula blends intricate arrangements with evocative storytelling, further establishing herself as a unique voice within the contemporary alternative scene. Tracks like the folk-inspired opener “Oya Wa” and “New Memory” are instant standouts, highlighting her ability to transition between traditional instrumentation and more modern, dance-influenced rhythmic structures.
Having established a strong foundation with ‘Alo,’ ‘Our Time in the Sun’ represents a focused continuation of her creative journey, arriving just months after her well-received live recordings. She’s set to take the stage at the upcoming SXSW festival in London in a few days, and she’s likely to perform some of these new songs, giving them their first major live outing.
