Enya talked to Elaine Paige and Neil Fox about her favourite music, I must say that I really enjoyed listening to these interviews. Indulgence and My Essential Musicals. Cute, cute, cute! I checked some of the songs on YouTube, a very interesting mix.
I'm sure you'll all love this laid back interview with Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2. Listen to it online (fast-forward to 1:38). And don't forget to watch Enya's performance of Trains and Winter Rains on 'Children in Need' fundraiser in Belfast.
There's more goodness to come, according to Enya's official site, she's just about to begin her promotional tour of Japan and also appear on the following shows:
Concerning the lack of new photos and screenshots: I am terribly lazy AND the site's traffic is high because of the new album. Therefore, if I uploaded any more pictures the bandwidth limit would get exceeded and OOTB would be offline once again. But don't worry, sweethearts! There's still Simone's extensive picture archive. She's doing a wonderful job, don't you think?
We all know that the new album is great but if you wanna read some reviews anyway, here you go: The Badger Herald & BlogCritics Magazine. Herald Sun published an article/interview Queen of the Castle. There're some cute parts, definitely recommended reading :)
There's been a lot going on lately, so let's take it slowly and start with the interviews:
I'm just listening to And Winter Came and it's beautiful, splendid and absolutely brilliant :) Love, love, love it to pieces! My! My! Time flies! is just too good to be true, my favourite.
Photos from the album launch in Berlin: ShowBiz, AEDT
...so cute, aren't they?
Update: Enya presented And Winter Came today in Hotel Palace de Madrid. Watch a short video and read an article (it's in Spanish, but you can easily translate with Google or Babelfish and find out why there's a horse on the album cover).
I edited my rave review of AWC as you seemed a bit upset by the choice of language ;) I'd also like to say that there won't be any updates by November 12 as my train to Barcelona leaves tomorrow morning and I will stay there until Tuesday afternoon. Have a nice weekend & enjoy the new songs!
Irish Indepedent is hosting exclusive previews of songs from the new album. Today you can listen to White is in the Winter Night. Although, I think I'll enjoy the song at Christmas, it feels very out of place on this rainy afternoon. Apparently, there's also a track-by-track guide to And Winter Came but I'm still waiting for Apple QuickTime player to install.
Update: I'm completely in love with Roma's comments. So funny! Nicky's little wish coming true and Enya not bearing to know if the little toy soldier's OK or not *lol*
The site's back with a new lil' bit wintery design, yay!
White Is In The Winter Night will be released on November 4 as a digital download. You can listen to a sample and pre-order on Amazon.com.
Enya's launching And Winter Came tomorrow night in Berlin. She's also scheduled to appear on German TV show Leute Heute on Tuesday (ZDF, 17:45-18:00).
Enya, Roma and Nicky talk about the new album, you can watch the EPK on Enya.com or YouTube (part 1, part 2).
Top 40 Charts published a short article on Trains and Winter Trains. Enya said: "I find traveling by train gives you time to think and reflect. The rhythm of a train journey is particularly soothing; it allows you to listen to your thoughts, even plan the future, and daydream especially." Also the gloves in the music video hold a special special significance for her: "I remember wearing gloves for the first time when I left home for College. They were my Mother's gloves, and a source of comfort. For me, singing the lyric, I put my own memories into it."
