Sometimes a song doesn’t rush in with fireworks — it walks in calmly, sits beside you, and says exactly what you need to hear. Daniel Onjeh’s new Afro-pop single “Time and Chance” is very much that kind of moment.
Soft, reassuring, and quietly uplifting, Time and Chance speaks to anyone who’s ever felt stuck in the middle of the journey. Built on real-life reflection, the song leans into the idea that progress isn’t always instant, but effort is never wasted. It’s about trusting the timing, staying consistent, and believing that opportunity eventually meets preparation — even when the road feels slow.
The writing came together naturally, driven by lived experience rather than any strict structure, and that honesty carries through the entire track. The production stays simple and grounded, allowing Daniel’s message to breathe. There’s no distraction here — the focus stays firmly on emotion, meaning, and delivery, making the song feel personal and relatable rather than overly polished or distant.
What makes Time and Chance hit a little deeper is the artist behind it. Daniel Onjeh isn’t just a singer-songwriter — he’s also an activist and politician whose creative voice has been shaped by social awareness and public engagement. Music has always been part of his life, but it was the global reckoning following the murder of George Floyd that truly pushed him to step forward. A poem he wrote against racism became a song, opening the door to a more intentional musical path.
That turning point led to his debut track I Can’t Breathe, followed by Rise Again, a hopeful, self-written song that found viral traction on Facebook even without an official release. Now, Time and Chance arrives as his third release, reinforcing his reflective style and steady belief in patience, purpose, and faith in the process.
