Musician whos music style relates to Enya? (instrumental, member, classic)

DLL_4ever · 08-21-2007, 11:38 AM

I'm a huge Enya fan, and was wondering if there were any other popular classical/easy-listening musicians out there that relate to her music style?

The softness and the happy, relaxing feeling u get from listening to her music is just, amazing. Both the instrumental part and her singing.

I was wondering if there were others like her around? Or if she really was unique?

Clannad is perfect for what you want, and ENYA was a member for a couple of years. They are one of my favourite bands, because they just take me somewhere else. I have loved them for 20 years now.

I love Clannad, but they can get a little overpowering sometimes (Although then again, so can Enya really). Adiemus is by far one of my favorite new age acts (And can compare quite well with Enya) and I seriously suggest checking out. There's some similar vocal stylings there, and they also have those notoriously relaxing songs that just bombard you with nothing but liltingness.

Elonia is another favorite that also does a good job with the same thing, along with a good handful of other new age artists. Once you start looking into it, you find that they're everywhere.

I would highly recommend Marcomé as Enya similar artist and singer. Airy layered voices, space music, classical chant, gregorian chant mixed in there. I've had her first album Seven Seas now for a long time and never got tired of listening to it!

Nice one. Appreciate the info.

It is indeed Enya-esque:

Marcomé - Yéku
