What would your thoughts be on a Bjork and Enya collab on an album? They’re both very private, have beautiful music, and I think they’re voices would be beautiful together. Also to all Bjork fans wondering what other music to listen to that is half as good as Bjork, Enya’s album, Watermark, is beautiful.

I think that the most beautiful thing about music is that it is one of the most versatile, nuanced, and enriching force of nature in which human beings have a dominion over.
With that being said I don’t think it matters much that Björk and Enya’s styles don’t align well and that they are not on the same wavelength. I still think a collaboration would produce interesting results, it’s an endless thought experiment as to what the results would actually entail. I’m sure they would find a way to get the most of a collaboration, musically of course.
Enya makes great music, her albums The Memory of Trees, Oceans, and Amarantine are all really neat.
I love them both dearly. Not sure it’d work but I think it could, I’m always surprised by the quality of Björk’s collaborations. Enya does a lot of vocal layering, Bjork does a lot of choral songs, I think some interesting overlap could happen.
Enya’s recording discipline can be quite boring for Björk, I suppose. Her melodies are beautiful, but… symmetrical? Which is 'too safe' for Björk. I can see her conjuring some Fossora-style beats on top of Enya's melody (and Enya getting heart attack after hearing the result). But I bet Björk at least heard 'Watermark’ or 'A Day Without Rain' in their heyday. Enya – not sure, she only listens to classical music and says some superficially-pleasant things about modern artists when asked.
P.S. LOVE 'The Memory of Trees'… Where’s the new album kween??!!
Memory of Trees is so good
I’d rather Tori Amos. I do adore Enya.
I don't see they vibrate on the same wave...
i would like not to
Gonna keep it cute...
This has crossed my mind before. I think they would make beautiful music together.
I suppose it would sound a bit like Allow, and I'd be here for it.
That's weird, I have had Cursum Perficio from Watermark stuck in my head all day. I have always thought there were some vague similarities between some of B's and E's songs, but I think they're two very different artists and both at a level of doing their own thing that they wouldn't collab together. But they may have a lot of respect for each other, as musicians. Wonder how each of them feels about the other.
It would work in a soft song like Allow Stonemilker Unison Unravel Joga type songs but I don't see the point.
I'm more interested in her collaborating with a producer I could enjoy rather than her doing duets with Enya.
Enya's lame.
Tell me you hate music in 2 words
Very opposite entities, who knows what masterpieces they could create hahaha
I think it would be reductive.

Their voices are very different... Enya's too soft for Björk. I cannot imagine balanced harmony between the two.
