Enya's music has always had a timeless quality - regardless of the decade each album was released, the music overall sounds unique and not attached to a time period as such. It seems to have a mix of simultaneously sounding ancient and ahead of its time. โณ๐ฎ๐คฉ
That will likely remain the case for Enya's new album, though I kind of wonder how 'new' Enya will go with the music ๐ as in will it sound kind of modern with some of the effects that lots of new music has, or mostly remain in Enya's style and not sound much different from what we've heard before? I hope it's somewhere in-between (still sounding like Enya but with subtle elements that enhance the music to sound likeย something new from her). ๐ผ
Many artists who've been around for some time kind of modernise their music as time goes on, some more than others. I suppose Enya has done this too in her last 3 albums, but to a small extent - songs like Echoes In Rain, Trains and Winter Rains, The Humming, Diamonds On The Water, The Loxian Gate, Less Than A Pearl, and Pale Grass Blue. I suppose it's the melody and orchestral feel of them (the latter is also applicable to May It Be, Isobella, Anรญron).
Then again older pieces like Boadicea, Triad: Oisรญn, Ebudae, Oriel Window, Watermark, and singles Caribbean Blue and Orinoco Flow of course - are far ahead of their time in the way the music works (bass, melodies, rhythms, time signatures) yet keep this 'long ago' feeling about them. I think the albums Amarantine, A Day Without Rain and The Memory of Trees are ahead in their themes - the variety of languages, inevitability, the idea that some experiences may stay with you for life, and a deep consideration of the natural world.
Some listen at certain times or when they are feeling a certain way, whereas others (including myself) could listen to any song by her, nearly anytime, as they have a similar aura within themselves, and are eager to listen to Enya's music as a subtle extension of it. ๐๐ถ Whatever the reason for listening, I suppose it's this innate quality in Enya's music that draws all listeners in. ๐ค
