A Day Without RainArtist: Enya
CommentsWith her latest album (and first in about five years...) Enya came under attack for not being original and rehashing old material. Really she can be commended for maintaining a consistent sound - if you buy an Enya album you have a fair idea what you're going to get. And in this case, even though there's a strong similarity between A Day Without Rain and her previous albums, there's a subtle upbeat flavour which comes out in tracks like Wild Child, Flora's Secret and Lazy Days. That's not to say there isn't the occasional dark Pax-Deorum-style song, and much of the tracks are her usual wistful pieces. Really the only let down here is the length (the US release is even shorter than the NZ/Australia release, missing The First of Autumn) with the album over in a little over half an hour, stopping several minutes short of Enya's previous shortest album. If you're expecting something new, skip this one - but you won't find the distinctive sound of Enya anywhere else. |
