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!) :disco:⛵🌊🎶
 
Eny-way, here are some non-Enya songs that she also speaks/sings on 🤗 🎶 ♡

Though Aníron is Enya's song of course 💗

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."

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. :thumbsup:
 
A 'new' rare recording :disco: 🖼️🎵
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 :D

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.'

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. :eyes:

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

Plenty! :disco: 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 :grin:
This is another one of those DJ disc releases also 1991

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

(Edit: this is the original, through the version with the pretty bioluminescent shore in the Maldives was removed..)



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.
 
A recent interesting jungle or DnB remix of Orinoco Flow here:

🌊⛵🎶:D
The first time listening through this I was saying when is Enya going to sing lyrics in this, then there was an explicit surprise somewhere in the middle 😅
This from a few months ago,a Boadicea drill remix:

:ninja::cool:🎵🪄
I don't actively seek the genres, but both are cool, and memorable when the added beats alter the rhythm a bit, in a way that complements the tune or the vocals.
:enya:
 
I actually really like when decent extended remixes are made featuring the lesser-heard Enya album tracks, often in Irish or Latin.

Deora Ar Mo Chroí (Tears On My Heart)🫀💧
I quite liked this remix too, a bit like Moya/Chicane's Saltwater :disco:

This one, despite disliking dubstep generally, I think this sounds fascinating:


and a recent one (Smaointe, but seems to be known as Crying Wolf due to a popular old upload)

🤗 🎶
 
I'm tempted to share several AI songs (Enya voice covers) here, and have done below :D
There's no embed for weights.com AI covers but it's fun to make them! I created several of Enya singing Lady Gaga.
:rofl:
3 different Enya AI voice models exist so far, I trained the Enya - mid 80s voice. ☺️

Have a listen 😅
(Edit: none of these share link work anymore, and 31st March 2026 they're shutting the site :( but I'll download them 😌)

Abracadabra
Alejandro (lead vocal)
Babylon (higher key)
Disease
Paparazzi
Poker Face (lead)
Bad Romance

🎼 ✨

Not perfect, originals/real voices are better, but I suppose Enya could be decent at singing these songs :grin:
I've done several more, softer songs by artists that might be in the Enya Wannabes thread 🤗 feel free to request. :D

Eny-way, here's a new remix you might like:

Though it is an AI cover, with Eithne’s singular voice from 40 years ago, she does a lovely duet with Dido. 🤗
The chorus for the duetting 💗
♡
It sounds a bit Celtic (I know Dido is half Irish) like the Scottish type; "while my heart is a shield," vaguely reminds me of Auld Lang Syne. 🤝
I want to share more like with Gaga's songs but I'll refine these a bit first. ☺

If it were Enya's song I imagine Uilleann pipes there too, not in an Irish boyband/Ronan Keating way, but like an almost mournful wail, suited to some of Enya's early songs. 😌
 
Someone shared this on Reddit, even if Enya's bit is higher pitched, it works nicely :grin:

:enya: 💚
Mix of 360 by Charli XCX and intro of Enya's Storms in Africa
 
I suppose this fits under misc 😸 About a week ago I discovered this fun cat clip:

 
One of the most subtle Enya samples (around 1 minute) but I like it 😊 ⛵ and the Boadicea one Geo22 did 🪄
 
There are more of a range of Enya remixes on Soundcloud; just found this long techno one of The Humming that I'm listening to now :headphones:

:enya:
(I always like when there are reversed segments :grin:)

It could just be another Boadicea remix* [...] but it's a cool track:

Well Enya has her rightful royalties from it :thumbsup:

This one is still one of my favourites of the non-official Boadicea remixes 🤩 (with Stevie Wonder's Master Blaster)



8D version I edited :headphones: ♾️🪄

😊🎶

Enya just read the iPlayer and realised she's on the Christmas 1988 TOTP episode tonight :disco:
www.bbc.co.uk

BBC Two - Top of the Pops, 1988 Christmas Special

With Pet Shop Boys, Cliff Richard and Enya.

"Pet Shop Boys, Cliff Richard and Enya"

On YouTube Don Pelletier does endless Enya remixes with a Pet Shop Boys-style haha, but they're rather good 🪄


And regarding Cliff, I never knew/saw that he presented Enya with a pretty treble clef shaped World Music Award in 1992 until today...! 🤩
(The clips I saw previously of this performance of Enya in that lovely jumper 🔶 were cut off before the award presentation. :D)

🎼 💗
 
[Edited, putting what was here in Speculate Wildly instead ]

Haha this is the second time today I've heard some trap beat over what is a lovely tune (only that I know the song in this instance, Only Time. 🤗)
Some clubhouse place in town, it sounded classical but I forgot the tune. 😅

An interesting bootleg remix of Boadicea :cool:

It reminds me of the late 2000s (Enya's photo there was around then ♡) especially that ring-y tone that comes in around 56s. As well as Enya's voice I'm thinking of both the Big Brother theme and the game Run 2. 👁️ 👾
Published a fortnight ago though, so likely made recently. :thumbsup: 🎵
 
I really like both of these :disco: :scotland: 🎶 even the different key change doesn't bother me! ♡
