I'm so happy I bumped into her music. I must admit it was just by accident (but a fortunate one). I was looking for Charlotte Church’s music video “Carrickfergus” because I really loved that song, then I saw Orla’s video and clicked on it. To my amazement her voice is very angelic. I'm mesmerized by the quality of it… so soft and relaxing. I can’t get enough of her music. In fact, I’m listening to her song, “The water is wide”, right now. Her voice, though has a similarity with Enya’s, she has her own technique. Enya’s way of singing reminds you of mountainsides, of seascapes, of nature… it will also make you think of nymphs and other mythological characters, while Orla’s is like a lullaby that lulls you to sleep… but both she and Enya have hypnotic voices and they both are my favorite. Enya had always been a favorite of mine since I heard her voice and music and now, in addition to my favorite, is Orla. I saw a video where Orla sang one of Enya’s songs, “Orinoco Flow”, with her band-mates in Celtic Woman and they did great. It’s nice to see that she paid tribute to Enya that way. I already have all of Enya’s albums in my collection and now I’m going to buy Orla’s albums. :)
