Product Description
From Amazon.com
As each new Enya release has washed over all who have ears to hear, as each heaven-touched work leaves admirers sitting speechless in slack-jawed wonder, questions eventually come to mind: Might her layered, choral-like approach gradually become predictable or stale? Will she ever exhaust her deep reservoir of soul-stirring ideas? Remarkably, A Day Without Rain, Enya's fourth release since her 1988 breakthrough, Watermark, establishes new artistic heights for the gifted Irish vocalist and keyboardist. The project, polished and refined over a five-year period in the company of longtime collaborators Nicky Ryan (producer) and Roma Ryan (lyricist), may qualify as her best yet--a radiant, beatific collection of works that command attention with their cathedral-like resonance as they soothe your spirit with some of Enya's loveliest, most graceful voicings ever. The disc's opening three tracks (including the spellbinding "Only Time") form a gorgeous trilogy that suggest Enya has deepened her focus on the nexus where sophisticated pop and regal mysticism, the twin rivers of her singular sound, form a seamless intersection. The disc's gentle timbre is disturbed only once, and in memorable fashion, with "Tempus Vernum," a marshalling of mythic sonic forces that brings to mind the theme from the De Beers diamond commercial, but with a Celtic/Goth edge. Additional highlights abound. The closing "Lazy Days" will leave your soul dancing in a shower of flower petals and sunshine. A wonderful recording. --Terry Wood

Enya strikes again....with a bang!,
By Aaron (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEW Enya - Day Without Rain (CD) (Audio CD)
After 5 years of anticipation from fans, the long-awaited album has finally hit the shelves. And it has turned out well worth the wait. Enya's ethereal and layered style is of course ever present in the record but this time around, the flavor and style are a little different. A Day Without Rain tends to, at times, gravitate towards more of a pop sound rather than the usual mysterious New Age atmosphere. I was particularly impressed with the song Fallen Embers because it is different than most of Enya's songs in the voice department. In stead of that layered harmonized vocal sound, we have Enya singing solo, one voice. It is, in my opinion, one of the purest sounds she has achieved thus far. All of the songs together weave a story about one's journey through love. Wild Child tells the joy and freedom of love while ONly Time of how only time tells. Tempus Vernum is almost like the stormy weather that all relationships must endure and Tears on My Heart, the calm after the storm. Flora's Secret is a refreshing tale of the secret exchange and reverie of lovers and Fallen Embers the sweet lament of that dream showering to the ground in glittering fragmentsOne by One and Pilgrim are self explanatory, and Lazy Days is a beautiful peice that contrasts with the rest of the album that really does feel like a lazy summer's day. All in all, I would say that this album has been well worth waiting for. Enya's slight deviation from her traditionally ethereal style is quite refreshing, and at the same time, familiar sounds and styles are still there. Very good work. Bravissimo!

The Magician of the Irish Princess,
By Marcelo Maciel de Almeida "Marcelo" (Uberaba, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEW Enya - Day Without Rain (CD) (Audio CD)
This CD contais the marvelous Only Time, which was one of the soundtracks of "Sweet November". It's gorgeous.Enya continues being my favourist singer of all time. Her voice is amazing and in each of her CDs you have something very special. Wild Child is a piece that tell us how to take advantage of every single moment of all our lives. Again the singer and composer tell us to seize the day. In Only Time we found roads that leads to love. The song is perfect for the film. It is dificult to elicit the best song, because all of them has a peculiar charateristic. The CD is wraped up with "Lazy Days", contrasting, in my opinion, hardworking days with the relaxing ones". You listen to Enya once and then you'll be completely adicted to her gorgeous voice. You just get very anxious to get her next CD.
