Do you suppose Enya would be suited to doing a Tiny Desk concert?

Enya has done a couple of NPR (National Public Radio in the United States) interviews in the past, for Paint The Sky with Stars in 1997, and And Winter Came... in 2009. Both were quite nice interviews on the whole (though the 'are you lonely?' question is a little irritating πŸ˜…) and I listened to the former very recently. πŸ˜ŠπŸŒŸβ„οΈ

(NPR are behind those Tiny Desk concerts.) Today this article was published, and from skimming through, it's quite suited to both new, rising, and well-established artists (like Enya). 🎢I don't know if there's an audience there, but it is still a concert, after all. :D

I've watched a few of these (e.g. Oklou, Billie Eilish, Ludovico Einaudi, and Adele did one in 2011). I quite like the close feel, how it's mostly 'unplugged' and acoustic, and how some of the artists whose music is typically electronic or 'processed' still sound really good on these.

I imagine that if Enya did a Tiny Desk concert, the more cosy (and mildly chaotic, with the cluttered display as a backdrop πŸ˜…) setting would work for her, perhaps even better than the live and backing track.
She should do one, new music or not - if Enya herself likes the idea of it, of course. β™‘

Any particular songs that you think would be nice as live acoustic renderings (assuming Enya sounds like she did around Dark Sky Island)? πŸ˜ƒπŸŽΆ
