Enya as featured artist - samples, remix misc

[disneyteletubby]

I saw it on YouTube but was put off by the clip haha
thankfully it's on Soundcloud

 

[disneyteletubby]

I don't know what the vocal repeated thing is, but otherwise I love this newly-found remix

Haha that one's been everywhere in the past few months I remember random people singing the song when I was in primary/elementary school

 

[disneyteletubby]

Not sure if the original song (Runaway Love by Ludacris ft. Mary J. Blige) has a Moopy thread but, sad song and the music video seems more 90s than 2006, but maybe that's the upscale haha.

Amazingly I discovered it through this (mashup with Enya -Boadicea of course)

 

[disneyteletubby]

This one (I'm not sure if I've shared it here before) is one of my all-time favourite Boadicea remixes. It reminds me of the early 2010s (2010-11).

Some mashup I uploaded (with that hold music, both iconic ) almost a year and a half ago:

 

[disneyteletubby]

I was listening to some random remixes, but the calm piano instrumentals found their way to me again

 

[disneyteletubby]

I was re-recommended (already watched and liked) this Scottish Widows Orinoco Flow mix

 

[disneyteletubby]

I heard this a couple of days ago, quite cool (22s for the main tune, and I like the way the rhythm has been reworked)

 

[disneyteletubby]

I actually really like when decent extended remixes are made featuring the lesser-heard Enya album tracks, often in Irish or Latin.

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

Also fascinating is how that 2012 remix works so well for this random 2026 clip

 

[disneyteletubby]

I wonder if Enya knew about this version of Storms in Africa for the trailer (up to 1:34)

(The song was in the film, as well as her instrumentals River and Watermark. )

I've not watched Green Card but the idea is interesting; I get why Enya would particularly like, or even relate to it

 

[disneyteletubby]

Not a remix but a compilation/evolution video mostly in order (but Exile is 1988 with 1991 video, that Oíche Chiúin video is 1995, plus Watermark is not a 2021 track and Dreams was not by someone called Donegal )
I'm surprised to have only just found this today I enjoyed the order of the first few, and that Trains and Winter Rains was not forgotten

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Released today, Blondee - Ocean Drive

 

[disneyteletubby]

Not bad though I wish they used Enya's vocals on it instead

 

[Shoat]

Quite possibly one of the WORST THINGS I'VE HEARD ALL YEAR

No wonder Enya refused to license the sample

 

[disneyteletubby]

Nah there are worse AI songs

 

[disneyteletubby]

A few new Soundcloud picks

Nice beats/bass



at how it starts with Moya's lovely bit from Harry's Game then bursts into this mix with higher pitched Enya humming Boadicea


I like the picture and that the vocal timing, though not perfect, has been edited interestingly.

 

[Enya Dearest]

I found out that Akon sampled Enya's 'Boadicea' in 2022, but I checked Spotify and noticed that Enya isn't credited. Why is that?

I knew that Akon sampled her as well; I quite like it



but I'm not sure, I didn't realise that Enya wasn't credited either

 

[disneyteletubby]

Maybe he got rights from Metro Boomin's sample (which he had to approve through Enya)

(This is from the official music video)

How are Enya and her team overlooking this?,

How are Enya and her team overlooking this?,

Not sure but I was thinking of another possible scenario: maybe Metro Boomin (a relatively lesser-known, less wealthy artist) got the sample/interpolation sorted through Akon paying Enya Maybe in return, that permitted Akon to use Enya as a sample without needing major royalties to Enya on Enjoy That (which was a smaller/less well-known track compared to Creepin'). (I don't know that well about how it all works though )

Anyway, I hope Enya got paid for this track.

Not a remix but a compilation/evolution video [...]

Another one of these with surprisingly few views, not spot-on (possibly put together with AI pinching old fan-made video clips) but a lot better with the release years and stats.

(plus the interview segment at the beginning is from 1996:-)

 

[disneyteletubby]

This released 12 hours ago seems popular!

I love some of those vocal effects

 

[disneyteletubby]

Really good with the beats and sound in general, though I wish Enya's vocal blended into it better, rather than that segment on its own that gives the live version (which isn't terrible, but doesn't have much of a 'full' sound) ♡

 

[disneyteletubby]

I realised this Boadicea remix was from 4 years ago (only last year for Soundcloud)

A bit longer here:

It's rather groovy (something 70s about it but modern at the same time)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Both pitched up (Enya humming Boadicea; this thankfully gets rid of the Diddy rap)


I like how this (1:13) uses the other lovely segment of Boadicea that hardly anyone keeps when they sample.

 

[disneyteletubby]

A couple of others (the first is longer but they did some preview). Also I thought this was going to be a Lazy Days (the epic Enya song) remix


This from a few months ago, relistened a few times



Also this Caribbean Blue one is rather nice


Unfortunately because there are loads of AI-generated songs/AI singer covers now (both YouTube and Soundcloud) and no real filter to exclude them in searches, it makes finding a genuine new remix trickier.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Lazy Days (the epic Enya song) remix

A few of those:








Several cool remixes by this guy


I'm sure there were more (aside from covers and mashups) but these are the remixes I can find currently.

 

[disneyteletubby]

My ASFM (A Song For Moopy) recent entry:

(3:52 for Enya singing ♡)


I later discovered it on the site Beatport (sample which kindly includes Enya's segment )

https://www.beatport.com/track/home/179993

Found it through WhoSampled

Also I am hosting the next ASFM contest; @Enya Dearest you are free to join in too! It involves choosing an avatar (any picture to a theme), entering a song, and eventually allocating points to your top 10 (12 points, 10, 8-1). There will be song and avatar themes which I will reveal in an upcoming thread on the main forum.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Interesting to hear Even In The Shadows as a remix/mashup:


Some other good ones I found today:

 

[disneyteletubby]

Finally I've listened to Enya speak on cassette "óir thug sé ordu dá aingil i do thaobh..." (spoken segment from Never Get Old, on Sinéad O'Connor's The Lion and the Cobra).



Very expensive album on CD, so instead I waited to find an affordable cassette and got it earlier this month. I wouldn't say these are go-to songs, but interesting first half. I could imagine Enya on the song Just Like U Said It Would B, backing vocal or something.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I'd like Enya to speak/narrate in one of her own songs; I think it would work.

Like the beginning/end of Exile for L.A. Story could've been her speaking instead (draft here) ♡

To be honest she'd be better at it than Nat's Algorithm (it is a creative song though) :
