Who are your favourite Enya WANNABES?

Though I don't find myself listening to Loreena McKennitt often (and as clarified in this video interview, she isn't really an Enya wannabe if she actually wanted to be a vet or nature conservationist ) I did rather like this track when it appeared on Spotify

I do enjoy the inference that Loreena McKennitt might not belong in the Enya Wannabe thread, when Iyaz, Rihanna, Michelle Collins, and the Cheeky Girls have all been accepted without question

I know there are many cats named Enya but
this is probably a favourite wannabe

If I lived alone, near to the respective location, I would adopt.

Also Natalie Imbruglia

Imbruglia's best is Shiver

I was listening to a couple of her lesser-talked about songs* from White Lillies Island (2001) and only recently I realised these album titles are similar:

Ironically, Natalie Imbruglia's was way more dark, at least lyrically, than Dark Sky Island gets.
And just now I found out it's named after this property Nat bought in 2000 (which was on sale in 2023).

Enya named Manderley (which she still resides in) after the fictional house in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, which somehow makes more sense. May not have been to Sark but Enya did see dark enough skies in her lifetime to see the stars like that.

*Anyway, for these two Natalie Imbruglia songs I've listened to in particular:




the themes are kind of similar to some Enya sings (especially the translation of these earlier Enya songs in Irish - 'S fagaim mo bhaile and Na Laetha Geal M'óige)

Anyway for That Day, a marvellous song and brilliant album opening track, I discovered it a few days ago from some TOTP compilation, she's really good at it live.
Never mind Pan's people, like with several Enya performances (though I'm not sure she's done live there) Japan performances are better.


And a bit from my Moopy pinnacle of interest, guessing my Spotify artists of the last 6 months at the time :-D

No but Natalie Imbruglia was at some point. I was listening to her moments before I discovered Enya

That fateful day

That day indeed
