In September 2004, a new song called 'Sumiregusa' was unveiled in Japan as part of an advertising campaign for Panasonic (commercial release has yet to occur as of November 2004). In 2004, Enya was reportedly working on her next album, but no release date is in sight. As a result, fans have had to wait as long as five years between albums. This sparked complaints within Enya's fan community.Įnya is a self-admitted slow worker when it comes to composing music. Many Enya fans, however, are resentful that her music has been forever linked with the attacks an example of this occurred on a 2002 appearance on CNN's Larry King Live when images of battle in Afghanistan were shown on screen as she performed 'May It Be', a song with no war connection. She agreed to release a special edition of the song with funds going to the families of victims.
She initially frowned upon this use, especially when many bootlegged versions of 'Only Time' mixed with sound effects from the attack began to appear.

After the Septemattacks, her song 'Only Time' (from A Day Without Rain) was used as a backdrop for many in radio and TV reports about the attacks. The resulting score was so similar to Enya's work that some sources erroneously credit Enya with the music.įollowing a five year wait, she released A Day Without Rain in 2000 featuring 34 minutes of new material. Cameron subsequently asked composer James Horner to adapt Enya's style for his score. She was offered the chance to compose the score for James Cameron's 1997 film Titanic, but declined. In 1997 Enya released her greatest hits collection Paint The Sky With Stars: The Best of Enya, which featured two new songs. Four years later she released the Grammy-winning The Memory of Trees (1995). Despite winning Grammys for 'Best New Age Album', Enya does not personally classify her music as belonging to that genre. Three years later, she followed with another hit album Shepherd Moons, which sold ten million copies and earned Enya her first Grammy Award. 'Orinoco Flow' topped the charts in Britain and the album sold eight million copies. The song 'Boadicea' from this album would later be sampled by The Fugees (1996, causing a brief stir because the group neither sought permission from Enya nor gave her credit initially) and Mario Winans (2004).Įnya achieved a breakthrough in her career in 1988 with the album Watermark featuring the hit song 'Orinoco Flow' (sometimes referred to as 'Sail Away'). The music she produced was featured on her first solo album, Enya (1987), but attracted little attention at the time. She was contracted to provide music for the soundtrack of the 1986 television documentary The Celts.
