Enya
Enya The beautiful sounds of Enya return after nearly five years with her new album, A Day Without Rain, another gorgeous mix of ethereal vocals and unique atmospherics that fans worldwide have come to love.

Having sold 40 million albums worldwide, Enya is one of the most successful female artists of all time, second only to U2 as the biggest-selling Irish artist in history! With her hit albums Watermark and Shepherd Moons, and the triple platinum, Top 10, Grammy-winning Memory of Trees, the County Donegal, Ireland native transcends all formulas and borders and defines a dreamy Celtic-influenced music that has made her an international superstar.

Filled with a heavenly mix of exquisite vocals, cinematic atmospherics, and lush harmonies, A Day Without Rain writes another brilliant chapter in the history of this two-time Grammy winner.

Interview
Enya recently granted Barnes & Noble.com a rare and exclusive interview. Here's a sample:

Barnes & Noble.com: Water has been a major theme in your music ("A Day Without Rain, "Orinoco Flow," "Watermark"). To what degree do you consciously integrate it into your work, and what is its significance to you?

Enya: Looking back on Watermark, the words are those of loss, of reflection, of exile -- not necessarily from one's country, but from those whom the heart loves. It has in its theme searching, longing, of reaching out for an answer. The ocean is a central image. It is the symbolism of a great journey, which is the way I would describe this album.

A Day Without Rain is probably the most positive of all the albums in the sense that even reminiscences are looked upon lovingly rather than with only sadness, that you are able to enjoy life, that you are able to meet the day and not be afraid, but know where you are in it. Hence, the reference to the ocean and water as being one of separation has now become one that is less painful. Now is the time to see the beauty of life -- in all its seasons.

Enya Review
With the blissfully beautiful A Day Without Rain -- Enya's first album after a nearly five-year drought -- the entrancing Celtic chanteuse builds on the uniquely melodic, ethereal groove that she conceived with 1988's chart-busting Watermark. A passionate perfectionist as well as a gifted melodist, Enya wraps her signature velvet vocals in glistening, lusher-than-life productions. In these 11 songs, her legendary voice meshes with gorgeous orchestral soundscapes, pizzicato synth strings, and carefree, springy rhythmic currents.... Delicate piano deposits a languid melody on the title track, as Enya's multilayered vocals harmonize like a choir of swooning angels.... And you'll hardly be able to resist the impulse to skip across the meadow, flower basket in hand, to the buoyant, slow-motion sway of strings and Enya's carefree vocalise on "Flora's Secret." The whole program is short but rich, and these are some of Enya's strongest melodies yet. So drink it all in, Enya fans, and rejoice at the return of one of the most alluring voices on the planet.
