    Ultimately, Whispers suggests a kind of sublime sensibility, sentiments that will hopefully encourage all potential fellow travelers to quickly get on board.

    He takes on his indecisive twenties on "Rolling Stone" and "27," attempts a road epic on "Riding to New York," and, on "Scare Away the Dark," implores, "We want something real/Not just hashtags and Twitter." Impressively, he sings it like he thought of that cliché himself.

    While Mr. Rosenberg can be affecting, the narrowness of his vision can be suffocating. Most of the time his lyrics are like teenager’s scribbled poems.

    More non-threatening folk-pop. [Jul 2014, p.96]

However the tracks are good and there are enough of them that stand out (namely Whispers) to boost the album above those of other folk singers. I am really looking forward to seeing how Passenger improves and will be listening to his further albums… Full Review »
