{"product_id":"passenger-wild-love","title":"Passenger - Wild Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe chart-topping, multi-Platinum and Ivor Novello-winning \u003cstrong\u003ePassenger\u003c\/strong\u003e returns with a new album \u003cem\u003e‘Wild Love’\u003c\/em\u003e. Passenger - real name \u003cstrong\u003eMike Rosenberg\u003c\/strong\u003e - was inspired by recently (and unexpectedly) becoming a husband and father. \u003cem\u003e‘Wild Love’\u003c\/em\u003e captures the whirlwind of emotions as their relationship developed - the excitement, the upheaval, the trepidation and the joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassenger says, “Going from a working relationship to a romantic one is scary. The older you get, the more of the spikier sides of love you’ve seen. Things go sour for all sorts of reasons and with someone so close, the stakes are so much higher. \u003cem\u003e‘Wild Love’\u003c\/em\u003e is the title track because it sums up the theme of the album. Do you give in to your doubts and do nothing, or do you face your fears and go for it? I wrote the song as I was realising that the choice was obvious.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the \u003cem\u003e‘Wild Love’\u003c\/em\u003e album charts the couple’s personal experiences - taking the plunge, cherished early memories together, the realisation that this new love could be one that lasts - the single \u003cem\u003e‘It Was Gonna Be You’\u003c\/em\u003e is an outlier from a previous chapter in his life, a story of discovering that relationships can rapidly unravel. It is set to a classic Passenger sound of bright, buoyant melody coloured with flourishes of piano and Americana-tinged guitar twangs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uplifting, energised atmosphere of the \u003cem\u003e‘Wild Love’\u003c\/em\u003e album opens with its most direct moment, the infectious ode-to-change of the live favourite \u003cem\u003e‘Boomerang’\u003c\/em\u003e. The title track and centrepiece \u003cem\u003e‘Wild Love’\u003c\/em\u003e will also be familiar from shows, a delicate piano-based country song which taps into the elation and fear that came as the couple’s relationship took shape. There are sonic surprises too, such as the way in which the frisky \u003cem\u003e‘Caution To The Wind’\u003c\/em\u003e draws on both ‘70s \u003cstrong\u003eElton John\u003c\/strong\u003e and the insistent keys of \u003cstrong\u003eBruce Hornsby and the Range\u003c\/strong\u003e’s \u003cem\u003e‘The Way It Is’\u003c\/em\u003e, or the ‘80s synth embellishments on \u003cem\u003e‘Lightning Strikes’\u003c\/em\u003e. A rare cover is also included with his take on \u003cstrong\u003eTaylor Swift\u003c\/strong\u003e’s \u003cem\u003e‘Willow’\u003c\/em\u003e, the song that soundtracked the couple’s blossoming love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Crow Records","offers":[{"title":"Indies Exclusive White Vinyl LP","offer_id":58900914536793,"sku":"SDZ-50683","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Beige Vinyl","offer_id":58900914569561,"sku":"SDZ-50684","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58900914602329,"sku":"SDZ-50685","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/REP_20260819_0959_090108_142_v_5065002092373_002.jpg?v=1787130791","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/passenger-wild-love","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
