Passenger: Let Her Go (Better and Bigger Than Goyte)

I'm a broken record, but honestly, if a record had to break, I'd want it stuck on this song. 

Firstly, massive, firework-accompanied props to Passenger for going from a street artist busking for money to being named one of the breakout stars of the summer and having his single from OVER A YEAR AGO suddenly blow up and receive upwards of 77 million youtube views! Hell yah that's auspicious! 77! (I love sevens if you weren't aware). Anyway, Passenger delivers on this hopeful but heartbreaking song! Opening chords and Michael Rosenberg's breathtaking voice lull you into tranquility and beauty, then at the 52 second mark the song becomes something accessible enough even for the radio, but still folky and wonderful enough to stay pure! You can just TELL Michael's a great guy. He gives off such an honest and positive vibe, and his remarkable musical ability is none too shabby! 

For something truly emotional and evocative, 3:38 until the closing wisps of his voice are incredible. Support Passenger's new album on iTunes here or,
On Amazon here (for a dollars cheaper). 

Enjoy this brilliant song from a budding artist who will keep making big ripples!
