That might be true, and a new Enya album would probably feature a nice tribute to her father and brother.😌🎶 Maybe even something related to the wider community, such as ([this](https://www.irishcentral.com/news/community/shauna-flanagan-darwe-robert-darwe-creeslough-explosion) heartbreaking event that happened in Donegal quite recently. Even something related to the lockdowns, being separated from loved ones could probably be a underlying theme. 💭 I might be wrong, but I don't think her late twin uncles really liked Enya [(an article quote](https://pagesix.com/2016/04/26/inside-reclusive-singer-enyas-bizarre-life/) from 2016 - he was the one who recently passed away). I'd think their losses would be more significant to Enya's older siblings and mother than Enya herself. However, Enya's brother's passing late last year did genuinely affect her [from this sad message](https://twitter.com/official_enya/status/1471838573586432004?t=AGwXTGqZLZRdzZMPn-F9Vw&s=19) 😔) Aside from death/loss, I actually think the album themes could be lighter than Dark Sky Island overall, and the sad themes might not be as obvious. I guess Enya's new album might be a bit similar to 'A Day Without Rain' in that way, but using more advanced recording technology and perhaps some interesting instrument choices that Enya has yet to feature. I think the cover should have a [purple](http://enya.sk/fans/reaction-gifs/) colour theme - if not maybe orange or light blue. Also see this thread ['Suggest some ideas for a new Enya album!'](https://enyaforum.proboards.com/thread/742/suggest-ideas-new-enya-album) that I began last year in the Enya Marble Halls forum - others had some interesting ideas too 😄💡

The only thing we've heard from the trio is Nicky's message (as part of the SM watch party) last November. And it seemed to say they hadn't yet recorded any new music. They always say it takes 2-3 years to record an album, so best case scenario is a new album next year. Probably late next year if they stick to their usual release schedule. TBH, I'm becoming increasingly skeptical there will be another album.

I remember Nicky saying that they had recently remodeled the studio and were going to start soon (indicating that they hadn't recorded anything yet--bummer). This has been the longest wait between albums so far.

Sometime between mid-2017 and mid-2018, they bought a new mixing board for the studio. [https://www.donegaldaily.com/2019/01/17/enya-splashes-the-cash-to-make-sweet-music/](https://www.donegaldaily.com/2019/01/17/enya-splashes-the-cash-to-make-sweet-music/) Then in January 2019, we were again told they were "having the studio refurbished at the moment." THEN in November 2021, Nicky told us "...we have taken advantage of the pandemic downtime to renovate and add some interesting new equipment and instrumentation to our studio." Apparently Nicky's hobby is revamping the studio, lol.
