The second greatest hits album by the Irish singer/songwriter, originally released in November 2009. After promoting her seventh studio album 'And Winter Came...' (2008), Enya's label Warner Music requested that she release a new greatest hits album of her favourite songs of her career. She agreed to the project, and chose a selection with her longtime collaborators, producer and arranger Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan.
Enya's elusive combination of classical inspiration, Celtic atmosphere and pop sensibility is evident throughout The Very Best Of as it revisits some of the most exemplary moments from an astonishing career. From her world-conquering international breakthrough "Orinoco Flow" to the sad serenity of "Only Time" that was adopted as an comforting anthem of hope in the face of 9/11, The Very Best Of captures Enya's most beautiful work to date.
The Very Best Of encapsulates highlights from Enya's entire career from her debut album's "Boedicea" to the first "And Winter Came" single "Trains and Winter Rains." Along the way it visits a remarkable collection of hit songs and enduring favourites such as "Anywhere Is," "Caribbean Blue," "Book of Days" and "Amarantine." It also provides something new in the shape of a stripped-down, previously unreleased version of "Aniron" that famously featured in Peter Jackson's "Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings."
