Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted - Passenger

Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted is the twelfth studio album by English singer-songwriter Passenger. Recording started in 2019 and the album released on 8 January 2021 by Black Crow Records.

From start to end we are treated to his poetic lyrical lines, his folky guitar and gently, airy piano rifts, it’s no surprise that many label him as the master of melody and indie-folk treasure.

This new release is far from an album of happy, upbeat tracks ( which is a rare occurrence from Passenger anyway ), but instead offers the listener a collection of touching and melancholy ballads, with this likely to be his most heartwarming album yet. The record was intended for release in May 2020, but due to the pandemic, he took the decision to delay this, and instead went on to write more music over the lockdown period. The influence of the whirlwind that has been of the past 12 months is evident within Mark’s writing, as he explores the trials and challenges that life has put upon all of us.

None of us have been able to escape the hardship that we have been faced with, and Passenger allows us to dive deep into our emotions that we are occurring on a daily basis, with an exceptionally written and thought out work of art. - Louise Carter
