Javelin, his tenth as a soloist. His NameSufjan may be an uncommon name for a musician, but for Stevens, it’s a moniker rooted in history and culture. In an interview with Junk Media, the singer-songwriter humorously described it as “one of those charming militaristic Muslim names,” playfully musing that his purpose in life might be to “kill and avenge.”Working With His StepfatherStevens embarked on his musical journey with the release of his debut album, A Sun Came. He released the set in 2000 while still in college.
Notably, this album marked the first for Asthmatic Kitty, a record label that he co-founded with his stepfather, giving him greater control over his artistic vision. In the years since, the two have worked together on several occasions, even releasing a collaborative album with one another. Oscars & GrammysIn 2017, Stevens rose to new levels of critical acclaim by contributing to the soundtrack of the critically adored film Call Me by Your Name.
His single, “Mystery of Love,” earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song and a Grammy nod for Best Song Written for Visual Media. He didn’t end up claiming either prize, but being nominated is the real honor, right?He Might Be Part Of The LGBTQ CommunityThroughout his years as a favorite in the indie scene, there were plenty of signs that Stevens is part of the LGBTQ community, but until very recently, he had yet to confirm that.

The Age of Adz, when he sings, “I would say I love you/but saying it out loud is hard,” and after a pause, concludes, “So I won’t say it at all.”Echoes of that brief and arresting expression of yearning can be found throughout his body of work over the last decade, whether he is grieving an intense personal loss or marveling at the cosmos itself.Although that finely tuned evasiveness around his own desire has long characterized his music, on his latest release Javelin (★★★★☆) he seems ready to say the quiet parts out loud.Stevens’ songwriting has always been lyrical, evocative, and rich in metaphor, so it should be no surprise that he has again delivered a collection of beautifully written songs.What is notable about his writing in Javelin is how intense and personal it is, containing none of the artful detachment of A Beginner’s Mind nor the grandiosity of its predecessor, The Ascension.
