Passenger
Let Her Go

Nettwerk

WE SAY

Though not yet enjoying the sales figures of his friend and touring partner Ed Sheeran, Brighton-born singer-songwriter Passenger (real name Mike Rosenberg, who RotD featured in 2007) can nonetheless boast some very big numbers of his own. Not the least of them are the whopping 17 million views Let Her Go has received since being posted last summer, catapulting him to number one in nine countries including Germany, Ireland and Australia. Lifted from the critically acclaimed album All The Little Lights (named iTunes singer-songwriter album of the year), this radio-friendly ballad receives a well deserved UK release on May 20. Though regularly playing to sell-out crowds around the globe, Rosenberg keeps up the tireless busking that gave him his start, amassing real-world and social media followers everywhere he goes. Video.
