Enya

[TeamDorinda!!]

Would it kill this woman to walk to her in-castle studio and trot out another 40 minute album that sounds exactly the same as the last? We're nearing a decade from Dark Sky Island!

 

[DoggySwami]

Credit where credit is due!

Enya was ranked number 2 best Irish female musician in this article. (Sinead at number 1 of course)
But I'm perched at this sentence..."It's been reported that the 62 year old singer is Currently working on new music"
Will we have an Enya Christmas this year? Fingers crossed.

Intern already working on the cover in MS Paint.

I remember reading that the Ryans were completely renovating the studio last year, so... 2028 maybe? Sigh.

 

[Iggypig]

I really, really hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get another studio album.

 

[burntoutcar]

Just one more, please, placing offerings to The Dagda.

 

[Iggypig]

If we don't, I would love a dive into the archives and release some of the stuff that didn't make The Celts etc.

AI to the rescue. Imagine what could be achieved. Feed all of Enya's catalogue into the system and let it run wild.

I dont think they have many demos lying around, but it's shocking how Warner never released the remastered albums with the b-sides and a nice packaging. Like, if Kate Bush did that, anybody can.

Oh, don't. Enya's version of 'Toxic' isn't something I need to hear.

I wonder how much financial sense does a new Enya record make in 2023, when many veteran acts basically release albums on a loss and make ends meet from performing the hits live. Enya, however, depends entirely on record sales. Even if the label gets creative with the physical formats and playlisting, realistically a new album would only do a small portion from the previous ones.

The cost of making an Enya album should be quite limited compared to some contemporaries because the songs are 99% done by her and the Ryans.

Last year they said they were completely redoing the studio in order to record new music but I would be surprised if we got a (final) album. It's been 8 years since the last one.

I'm also terrified at the potential art direction because everything that they put on streaming or vinyl in the last few years looks horrible, new Box of Dreams release included.

Enya rakes it in from new age streaming playlists.

 

[bonnieetclyde]

Maybe she'll get playlisted in Stranger Things.

So according to her Facebook post, it's the 35th anniversary of Watermark today and there is a listening party.

Shame an anniversary edition wasn't released.

 

[burntoutcar]

Oh cool. I’ll listen (by myself) later tonight.

Well, a listening party for the 35th anniversary of a multi million album seems so right !
Oh dear

 

[Verandi]

The ones for Shepherd Moons and A Day Without Rain were truly embarrassing.

I don't understand how Warner is not able to force her to release anniversary editions, but I've started to think that maybe she doesn't have a label anymore. It would explain the terrible digital artworks.
