GLOBAL RELEASE—Celebrating a decade since the release of his influential album ‘All The Little Lights,’ acclaimed UK singer/songwriter Mike Rosenberg unveils ‘All The Little Lights (Anniversary Edition)’—a remarkable re-recording and re-imagination of the entire album.
Infusing these timeless songs with a decade’s worth of experience and wisdom, Passenger collaborates with friends like Foy Vance, Gabrielle Aplin, and Nina Nesbitt, preserving the original spirit and soul while breathing new life into these beloved staples.
The album’s release brings forth a new video for the re-recording of the global smash single “Let Her Go,” featuring a final collaboration with Passenger’s longtime friend and tour mate, Ed Sheeran. The original chart-topper, #1 in 19 countries and boasting over 6 billion streams, retains its status as the 16th most viewed video on YouTube of all time and the #2 most Shazamed song globally.

Reflecting on the transformative power of ‘Let Her Go,’ Passenger acknowledges it as a life-altering song that marked a clear distinction in his career—before and after its creation. Written during a regional tour of Australia in early 2011, the song’s inception was a profound moment, with the opening riff feeling instantly familiar.
Passenger credits a significant portion of the song’s success to Ed Sheeran, whose global tour as the opening act in the year preceding the song’s explosion played a pivotal role. Grateful for Sheeran’s support and collaboration on the re-recording, Passenger emphasizes the genuine connection they share and the inspiration drawn from Sheeran’s kindness and generosity.

The album, particularly propelled by the success of “Let Her Go,” became a global phenomenon with 6 billion streams, #1 rankings in 19 countries, platinum status in 11 countries, and top Shazamed Song of All Time honors.
In commemoration of this impactful era, Passenger releases ‘All The Little Lights (Anniversary Edition).’
