YAYYYY!!!! I've been missing her! Her compilation Paint the Sky with Stars used to be one of my go-to CDs in undergrad and work when I needed some music to help me concentrate :) I like the snippet... Although it's classic Enya, I'd welcome something just a tad fresher at least for a couple of songs Excited anywat

Adele ain't safe.
She is one of my all-time favs for sure. Will definitely be getting this album. Her whole discography is awesome. Was her Xmas album the last one she did? Has it really been that long?

Yeah, "And Winter Came" was her last studio album in 2008. She did release a 2nd Greatest Hits album in 2010, but there weren't any new tracks on it.
The deluxe edition of DSI will have 3 additional tracks:
12. Solace 13. Pale Grass Blue 14. Remember Your Smile

I really like the song. Far better than Amarantine, but I greatly enjoy her discography as a whole (Caribbean Blue is one of my favorite songs by any act) and am really glad we're getting another addition.

Enya is living proof that if it ain't broke don't fix it. She's been making the same new age stuff for years and it works for her perfectly. With a remix, I could see her getting a hit out of Echoes in the Rain, in Europe at least.

I've seen 75 million circulated. Nielsen has her at over 27 million in the US according to a Billboard report from earlier this year, but it wasn't specified whether that was just since Soundscan started or with estimates for the sales of Watermark prior to that.

With a remix, I could see her getting a hit out of Echoes in the Rain, in Europe at least. It needs a subtle remix like that remix of "Only Time" that was a surprise hit in the U.S. or that single mix of Ellie Goulding's "Lights."

In a recent interview, Enya revealed that "So I Could Find My Way" is dedicated to Nicky Ryan's mother who died before recording began on the album. (Nicky is her producer.)

I'm disappointed, but I'm still buying it. And probably one for my mom too for Xmas. It will be interesting to see her sales in 2015. Think this will sell 1M WW?

The sampler sounds great. Can't wait to hear the album in full! Everything sounds so dreamy. It makes me want to make a big pot of tea and then sip the tea slowly while taking in all the beautiful sounds by candlelight.
