Enya - Dark Sky Island

Dark Sky Island is the eighth studio album from Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 20 November 2015 by Warner Music internationally and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Following the release of her 2008 album And Winter Came..., Enya took an extended break from writing and recording music until she started work on a new album in 2012 with her long time recording partners, arranger and producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan. The album was inspired by the island of Sark and its recent designation as a dark-sky preserve, and a collection of Roma's poems on islands.

Dark Sky Island received mostly positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success upon release. It peaked at number four in the United Kingdom, Enya's highest charting album in the country since her 1991 album Shepherd Moons, and number eight on the Billboard 200 in the United States. Elsewhere, it reached the top-five in nine other countries. A vinyl edition was released on 18 December 2015, the first vinyl release from Enya since the 1992 reissue of her 1987 album, Enya. A Deluxe edition features three extra tracks. Enya promoted the album with a world tour that included several television performances of some of the album's songs.

By October 2016, it had shipped an estimated 1 million copies globally.
