And winter came ... ENYA and came ... to sing the beauty of winter. The return of the Irish singer, star of "invisible", closed in a castle to talk only to his music. In twenty-year career Enya. whose full name is Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin , has sold 70 million albums without ever doing concerts. € 250,000 spent each year to protect his privacy. A luxury for those who, like you work in an industry in crisis, and few can afford, and few can afford to make an album with a reception from 350 pounds to cover in a nineteenth century palace on the banks of the Thames, with plenty of ice and snow sculptures in the garden. 
Enya, moreover, is a world apart. Her not Sparla, never indiscreet photos or whims except for certain things professional. She, who made his debut with his film scores, has said no to the Titanic because it would be a collaboration, "and with the collaborations are never in complete control of the final musical product." He even declined an invitation to sing with Luciano Pavarotti, as well as with many others, "because what enters , Enya and Pavarotti together? . If you spend € 250,000 a year to protect his privacy in the castle of Manderley, a Killney, County Dublin - the name comes from his favorite novel, Rebecca - it is because "success and fame are two separate things": unlike so many others, to succeed did not need fame. "I'm lucky - Said yesterday at the launch of ' And Winter Came ... "(And the winter came, exit 7 November '08) - am a musician.
'd rather be talking about my music . That produces music "with a slow absurd, often in the grip of creative block and fear that the last tune written and the final one." At his side Nicky and Roma Ryan, friends, associates, companions in life, because for a period seems to have also lived together.
The latest work was conceived as a Christmas album, presents it as Enya, "because Christmas we like very much," then the issue has become the winter. " is my favorite season. Nature becomes magical, there is a surreal silence, is the period in which work best. I can not concentrate. Winter inspires me. "
sound and style are unmistakably those of Enya, but there is something new: like the verses 'dark' to 'Trains and Winter Rains', the single, probably due to the terrible experience on board a train from Belfast to Dublin. The IRA put a bomb on the train, the bomb exploded, fortunately without causing casualties ... The penultimate song on the album, "My!, My! Time Flies, "is instead a song nearly the catchy pop: it was written in honor of a musician friend, Jimmy Faulkner, who died a few months ago. With the album finished - the last revision was completed shortly before the presentation - Enya, who prefers to focus on one project at a time, is looking for new experiences. Maybe a soundtrack, if the right offer arrives (even if the directors with whom she would like to collaborate, said Nicky, are few, right Scorsese, Peter Weir, Ridley Scott and, of course, Peter Jackson, who had previously Call for 'The Lord of the Rings'). Does not, soon, a concert and says " You just have to find the right formula. As time passes and more People expect miracles. not want to disappoint. "
