3.5/5

Calgary, AB, Canada

Enya may in fact be new age, but the ageless quality to her music makes that quite forgivable.

Sticking with ones own style is something every musician should be about. But after a series of similar albums, it is just ... tiring.

There is a quiet beauty to Enya's music and a certain predictability. It may be comforting, but the placid music can also be a bit boring.

This isn’t bad music at all; it’s just predictable, which is something every good artist always tries to avoid.

Lullabies and sappy love songs.

Yes, her soundscapes can be gorgeous. But they also can be the equivalent of driving across a desert.

Her recognizable style is still there and as good as ever. Her soft voice is full of grace.

An excellent return from an artist whose sound is synonymous with a whole genre.
