Television, movies, stage musicals, commercial jingles and Christian music/gospel are all contained in the resume of Los Angeles-based “PK” Javen. As a gospel music enthusiast, you may have caught Javen’s 2002 single “Never Give Up on Love” or his 2003 CD Change.
The title track of Javen’s January 2009 release, Keeping the Faith, is blessed with a chorus that is nothing if not infectious. Opening with vocoder-drenched vocals, “Keeping the Faith” is about hanging on when hanging on is hard to do. “Things will be fine/It just takes time,” Javen assures.
“Keeping the Faith” is an body-swaying, feet-moving, pop-inspired urban inspirational recording that has that magic ability to make even The Grinch smile.
