His last album Gathering Storm goes back and forth with romance and revolutionary themes. The single and title of the album Gathering Storm explores the roots of reggae the most. Featuring Caleb Hart celebrates Indigenous communities, particularly indigenous people and people coming together to protect the lands. When asked he said; 

“I wanted to create a song that could be an anthem for communities coming together to create a more just and people-powered world,” 

 “I have been building relationships with many Indigenous leaders working for the resurgence of their culture and in defense of their land and water, and for climate justice. This song is dedicated to the cooperation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and to my Secwepemc brothers and sisters who comprise the Tiny House Warriors.”
