ENYA AND HER FIRST ALBUM IN SEVEN YEARS

'Only Time by Enya is one song that stays timeless. I remember always hearing it in my early twenties, the very clam but engaging track has been used in movie soundtracks, theater shows and you name it. The singer has been quiet for a really long time that it's very fascinating to know that she will be coming back to the music scene with her first album in seven years. 

In the past three decades, the seemingly private Enya has sold 80 million records (and counting), putting her in the ranks of artists like Cher and Beyonce. Along with her musical and business partners Nicky and Roma Ryan, the Irish songstress has managed to carve a unique spot for herself in the industry. 

Since her first album, "Watermark," dropped back in 1988, Enya has steadily been in the studio working on her ambient, ethereal music. But after her 2008's "And Winter Came ..." was released, the artist decided to take a much-needed break from her work. 

On Nov. 20, she'll release "Dark Sky Island," her latest album in seven years, which was inspired by the U.K.'s Sark Island, also known as Dark Sky Island (hence the album's title), a place with some of the best stargazing in the world.
