    Strong follow up to her lovely debut solo record Sea Sew. 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 anStrong follow up to her lovely debut solo record Sea Sew.

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?… Expand

    Sometimes playful, sometimes starkly beautiful. [Dec. 2011 pg. 95]

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

    Her voice is light and agile, her phrasing like exquisite plumage, and her folksy songs move with deceptive power, sailing on guitars, strings and Irish drama.
