Amazon Review
Enya's first global hit, "Watermark," confirmed her position as more of a sonic craftsman than a singer or songwriter. The music, crafted through collaboration between Enya, a classically trained pianist, producer Nicky Ryan, and poet Roma Ryan, is defined by cathedral-like majesty, dazzling piano and shimmering synthesizer orchestrations, and, above all, the endlessly overlapping vocal harmonies that define her music.
"Watermark," released in 1991, is an epic, romantic, and deeply Celtic pop album. While retaining the same serene, undulating sound as her previous album, "Watermark" also taps into Celtic and Latin elements, blending them with gentle, sentimental melodies. Each track is captivating. Trend-chasers may scoff, but "Caribbean Blue" was no fluke. The album's most popular track has made inroads on the Modern Rock charts, the Top 40 charts, the Adult Alternative charts, and even mainstream radio. (Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com)
