SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:37 Min.
Recorded by Michael Hutchence of INXS, it’s the eleventh tune off 1995’s Batman Forever movie soundtrack.
REVIEW:
Michael Hutchence’s presence infuses this track’s edgy rock sound, but he isn’t its main asset. Instead, the song’s dark electronica quirkiness implies “The Passenger” would have been better served as a pure instrumental. Hutchence’s vocals frankly doesn’t add enough to make “The Passenger” even a top-five attraction on the Batman Forever album. In that sense, this song just isn’t remarkable. For Hutchence fans, however, “The Passenger” is worth checking out, if only to hear him moonlighting away from INXS.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5 Stars
