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.
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.
