Enya - featured artist...

[disneyteletubby]

As most probably know, Enya is sometimes credited/sampled/featured somehow on tracks by others.

The most recent sample/interpolation of Boadicea for this Creepin' song is okay; the production by Metro Boomin is good, but the following would be strange if true..

(Though that would probably just be for America; Orinoco Flow was at #1 in the UK for 3 weeks!)

Anyway, here are some non-Enya songs that she also speaks/sings on

 

[disneyteletubby]

Never Get Old - Sinéad O'Connor (1966-2023) featuring Enya (spoken Irish from the Bible, Psalm 91:11-13)​

Óir thug sé ordú da aingil i do thaobh:
Tú a chosaint i do shlite go léir:
Lompróidh siad thú lena lámha sula mbuailfí
Do chos in aghaidh chloiche.
Satlóidh tú ar an leon is ar an nathair:
Gheobhaidh tú de chosa sa leon óg is a dragan.

English version of what Eithne says:

"God commanded His angels concerning you
To guard you in all your ways.
They will lift you up in their arms
To keep you from striking your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra
You will trample the great lion and the serpent."

🕊

Has she ever featured on a Louise track?

She’s one of the bitchy voices in the intro to ‘2 Faced’.

 

[Madíson]

(Though that would probably just be for America; Orinoco Flow was at #1 in the UK for 3 weeks!)

Presumably she has a few additional weeks due to “Ready or Not” and “I Don’t Wanna Know”.

It's still hard to believe OF didn't hit #1 on this side of the pond. My recollection is that it was fairly ubiquitous. Anyway, #2 ain't shabby.

Does Orinoco Flows need an acronym?

Does Orinoco Flows need an acronym?

Yes, because I'm lazy.

A 'new' rare recording
Jargon, Charlie McGettigan and Eithne Ní Bhraonáin - Bailieboro and Me (1982)



His songwriting's really nice (including the song Dreams sung by Enya )
I think Enya's singing some backing vocals here, as well as the slightly jazzy, free-flowing piano part.

They still have articles on how Enya was not letting Metro Boomin' go ahead with sampling without an approved title

This very recently https://bnnbreaking.com/world/us/me...ops-charts-despite-sampling-hurdles-with-enya

'Enya was hesitant to approve the use of her work, leading to a suspenseful negotiation phase. Eventually, a compromise was reached, allowing the song to proceed to release, with 'Creepin'' being chosen from a list of Enya-approved titles'

Some earlier article https://exclaim.ca/music/article/me...s_hit_collab_creepin_almost_got_the_red_light which explains Enya-approved titles:

'Enya didn't want it to be released under his initial working title, "IDWK."
So, he had her send him a list of names that she was okay with, including "Undecided," "Creepin'," "Don't Come Back to Me," "Better Off That Way" and "Wanna Let You Know."
Metro said the back-and-forth was actually a blessing in disguise.'

TOO RIGHT

Abbreviations are an abhorration in the Loxian language

 

[disneyteletubby]

I found two live versions (some suggested Clannad songs on Spotify) and this one has Enya singing live, around 1:03

The Dulaman upload on YouTube can be 'clipped', but not Mhórag's Na Horo Gheallaidh (in Scottish Gaelic) where Enya sings particularly magically in this recording.

Maybe it was the cough (audience or Moya) at the end.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Has she got any side-splitting remixes that would be ripe for the 1001 bangers thread?

Plenty! Might depend on taste/level of intensity, and whether it's mixed with another artist's vocals, or solely Enya's. I know you liked this one
This is another one of those DJ disc releases also 1991

Spoiler: These maybe?

These are kind of 'classics' Enya-fan-remix-wise haha




Other newer (since 2020) fairly creative Enya remixes:







Instrumental, but quite cool, videogame-type

Oh my god, hold on, I have one I already love and can't believe I didn't @ you it.

I heard this one recently, and even commented on that video, but thanks for reminding

Well, Louise featured on (introduced) this Enya track.
