Enya uses her voice to layer all her backing vocals, and most of Enya’s tracks are created using synthesizers and samplers, though she does use live performers for some tracks. I must say that the music video ruined the song because visually, the instruments and human choir depicted are not used in the song at all. I even hoped secretly that she would create cover songs of some of my favourite tunes. Although Enya has re-used her arrangement style through and through, I wouldn’t mind a bit. However, when I heard her second single released on YouTube, I loved it immediately. Nevertheless, I must give credit to her for composing such an infectious song, so catchy the tune that even my daughter could sing the song after one listen. To this fan here, the former falls short. I suppose the idea of this association is to hope that Echoes In Rain will achieve the same hype as Orinoco Flow. Her first single to be released online, Echoes In Rain, was compared to Orinoco Flow in terms of creative inspiration, though I felt the song style was more like Anywhere Is.
There are full-length lyrics videos in her just-created official YouTube channel, interviews of her speaking about her new album, updates on her official Facebook page.
Now in 2015, Warner Music has created an online campaign to gear up for the launch. Back then, it is rare to hear her speak or watch her interviews. Her last album, “And Winter Came”, was in an era when online music was not as prevalent, when compact discs were still immensely popular, when singles are easily available. Enya, one of the most influential artists in my music career, has finally released a new album.
