And Winter Came Album: And Winter Came Artist: Enya Date: 2008.11.10 Region: Europe & America Language: English Genre: New Age Album notes: Enya.com has now announced the news of Enya’s latest album. The album is titled And Winter Came and is scheduled for release on November 10, 2008. It’s a new album Enya will release on November 10, 2008, after two years of work. Originally Enya was going to make a Christmas album, but later decided to make a brand-new album instead of limiting herself to covering traditional Christmas carols. “Enya will release her brand new studio album ‘And Winter Came’ on November 10th on Warner Bros. Records. Two years in the making, ‘And Winter Came’ was recorded at Aigle Studios near Dublin and is once again the result of Enya’s longstanding creative team with producer/arranger Nicky Ryan and lyricist Roma Ryan. ’I always wanted to do a Christmas album, but as we began recording I didn’t feel it was right to impose a Christmas theme on certain songs,‘ explains Enya. Says Nicky, ’We started out writing for a Christmas album, but it has evolved into more an Enya album based in a winter landscape where Christmas arrives here and there, but it would be wrong to call it an Enya Christmas album.‘ ‘And Winter Came’ is nonetheless rich in delightful festive moments.” ——ENYA.COM “Enya’s brand-new studio album And Winter Came will be released by Warner Bros. Records on November 10. Two years in the making, And Winter Came was recorded at Aigle Studios near Dublin, and it is, of course, another labor of love from Enya’s extraordinarily creative team, which has worked together for so long — besides Enya herself, it includes arranger/producer Nicky Ryan and lyricist/poet Roma Ryan. ‘I always wanted to make a Christmas album, but when we started recording I felt that some of the songs weren’t suited to being turned into pure Christmas music,’ Enya explains. Nicky says, ‘At first we were making a Christmas album, but it later evolved into an Enya-style record themed around a winter holiday season — though it would be inappropriate to call it an Enya Christmas album.’ Of course, And Winter Came is indeed full of that warm, festive holiday atmosphere.” ——ENYA.COM Full track list: 1.
