    A bright and breezy sophomore that occasionally hints at darker themes. [Dec. 2001 p. 127]

    Her voice remains the main attraction on this second album but its prettiness often sounds thin against the sort of arrangements that invite the description "plinky-plonky".

Lisa Hannigan has a more expansive sound on Passenger but deep down it is a record cut from the same cloth. The songs are very strong, the voice is as good as ever and it's a more lively and in my opinion a stronger record than Sea Sew which got a Mercury Music Prize nomination. Passenger goes further in establishing her as an artist in her own right and has some great singles on it. She has her own style and sound and is growing her own fan base independant of her past musical partnerships with Damien Rice. Another couple of albums like this and it may be a case of Damien Who?… Full Review »
