Javelin brings together elements of his old and new sounds and demonstrates his evolution as an artist in a fascinating way. Throughout the album, he subtly compares romantic love to religious love, with many of the songs resembling hymns. The album finishes with a hopeful song called “There’s a World,” completing his grief with acceptance of something beyond death.
