According to Wikipedia's article about her, Enya is Ireland's best-selling solo musician. She often writes in a style reminiscent of folk song and tends to frame her voice in a wash of strings and vocal overdubs. She has won Grammys for "Best New Age Album," though she personally does not consider herself a New Age artist. Her major hit to date was probably "Orinoco Flow" from the 1988 album "Watermark." She has a simple but haunting sound on "Amarantine," especially in the title track.
