===2019–present; further acclaim and future projects=== [[File:Enya (Eithne ni Bhraonain), 2022 portrait.jpg|thumb|right|190px|Enya in 2022]] Since late 2019, there had been a significant increase in activity from Enya's official social platforms.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Fasmer|first=B. T.|date=2020-05-25|title=Enya Updates – Why is she back on social media?|url=https://newagemusic.guide/new-releases/enya-updates-why-now/|access-date=2023-09-19|website=New Age Music Guide}}</ref> There have been more official Enya posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, updates to Enya tracks and playlists on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, as well as YouTube channel updates and new content. Several music videos on Enya's official YouTube channel<ref>{{Cite web|title=enyatv - YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/@enyatv|access-date=2024-04-09|via=YouTube}}</ref> have undergone [[4K resolution|4K]]/HD conversion since 2020. Numerous YouTube "watch party" videos and [[Vinyl revival|vinyl]] re-releases marking anniversaries of Enya's music albums and compilations have been released since. Regarding a new studio album, there have been mentions about Enya recording new music, according to several close sources. As of 2019, Enya's sister [[Moya Brennan]] had mentioned that Enya was recording music.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-02-28 |title='We are always together,' says Moya on private sister Enya |url=https://www.independent.ie/regionals/herald/we-are-always-together-says-moya-on-private-sister-enya/37863429.html |access-date=2023-08-24 |website=Independent.ie}}</ref> The first of these videos was in November 2020, posted on Enya's official YouTube channel to commemorate the 20th anniversary of ''A Day Without Rain.'' In addition to the individual tracks from the album, it included handwritten introductory messages from Enya and Roma Ryan, plus a closing message from Nicky Ryan.<ref>{{cite AV media|people=Ryan, Nicky|date=20 November 2020|title="Enya - A Day Without Rain (Watch Party)" by Enyatv|type=Video|url=https://youtube.com/fye7LtjOuEE|access-date=7 July 2022|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> Some behind-the-scenes clips from the [[making-of]] the music videos for "Only Time" and "Wild Child", both directed by [[Graham Fink]], were also included. For the ''Shepherd Moons 30th Anniversary Watch Party video'' in November 2021, Nicky Ryan's introductory message noted that during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], Aigle Studio underwent some renovations, with new recording equipment and instruments installed, and that with this done, Enya and the Ryans were eager to start working on new music.<ref name=":4">{{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuQ2hQPIWLo |title="Enya - Shepherd Moons 30th Anniversary Watch Party" by Enyatv|date=4 November 2021|type=Video|publisher=YouTube |time=0:58|access-date=4 November 2021 |people=Ryan, Nicky}}</ref> A 20th-anniversary vinyl [[picture disc]] re-release of the "May It Be" single was also released in late 2021.<ref>{{Cite tweet |user=official_enya|number=1466825303414784005|title=The 'May It Be' picture disc is out now!

Enya had previously noted for her 2015 album Dark Sky Island, that 'several songs here have a stronger beat, and even a little hip-hop influence.'<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|date=2015-11-18 |title=Enya on being stalked and why she is single |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/enya-interview-ireland-s-most-successful-solo-artist-on-being-stalked-living-in-a-castle-and-why-she-s-single-a6739856.html|access-date=2024-01-30|website=The Independent}}</ref> In 2022, for [[Metro Boomin]] and [[The Weeknd|The Weeknd's]] song [[Creepin' (Metro Boomin, the Weeknd and 21 Savage song)|"Creepin'"]] featuring samples from her 1987 song "Boadicea", Enya didn't approve of the song to be released under the working title "IDWK" (referring to the song I Don't Wanna Know). Metro reportedly asked Enya to select song titles that she would be happy with, which included "Undecided," "Creepin'", "Don't Come Back to Me", "Better Off That Way" and "Wanna Let You Know". Metro said '"Creepin'" was the one [...] It ended up being a blessing because it's the best name for it.'<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/metro_boomin_and_the_weeknds_hit_collab_creepin_almost_got_the_red_light|title=Metro Boomin and the Weeknd's Hit Collab "Creepin'" Almost Got Axed Because of Enya|website=Exclaim.ca}}</ref> In early December 2024, "Creepin'" won the BMI London Song of the Year, with composition credits and awards including both Enya and Nick [sic] Ryan.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2024 BMI London Music Awards |url=https://www.bmi.com/award-shows/london-2024/ |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=BMI.com}}</ref> In June 2023, Enya's 1997 limited compilation ''[[A Box of Dreams]]'' was re-issued on 6 vinyl LPs, featuring new liner notes.<ref name=":5">{{cite web|title=A BOX OF DREAMS (6LP BOX)|url=https://store.rhino.com/en/rhino-store/artists/enya/a-box-of-dreams-6lp-box/0190296707018.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230421010603/https://store.rhino.com/en/rhino-store/artists/enya/a-box-of-dreams-6lp-box/0190296707018.html|archive-date=21 April 2023|access-date=28 August 2023}}</ref> Nicky Ryan confirmed that the trio were working on a new album and floated the possibility of a book based on the trio's thoughts regarding the ''Oceans'' tracks. Enya's note, in Irish, read 'Beidh muid ag teacht le chéile gan mhoile', which roughly translates to 'We will meet again soon.'<ref name=":6">{{Cite AV media notes|title=A Box of Dreams |title-link=|author-link2=|others=Enya, Nicky Ryan, Roma Ryan|date=2023|type=box set [[liner notes]]|publisher=[[Warner Music Group]]}}</ref> Roma Ryan also updated the liner notes with several newer thoughts about the songs, [[constellation]]s, and poetry. On 19 September 2023, a watch party video for the 35th anniversary of ''Watermark'' was also presented.<ref>{{Citation|title=Enya - Watermark 35th Anniversary Watch Party|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAgRHRzth7k|access-date=2023-09-19}}</ref> Alongside this, vinyl LPs of ''Watermark'' and a [[Dolby Atmos]] upmixed audio for "Orinoco Flow" were also released.<ref>{{Cite tweet|title=To celebrate the 35 year anniversary of 'Watermark', Enya has released a new Dolby Atmos mix of standout single 'Orinoco Flow'|user=official_enya|number=1705179242202361999|access-date=2023-09-26}}</ref> Enya's official website was rebooted, returned to Warner ownership and stylised in September 2023. It has, however, lain dormant since. On 20 February 2025, on the [[RTÉ Gold]] Breakfast Show, Enya was announced as the winner of the [[Choice Music Prize|RTÉ Choice Music Prize]] Classic Irish Album, with her 1988 album ''Watermark.''<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-02-20 |title=Enya wins RTÉ Choice Music Classic Album award for 2025 |url=https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2025/0220/1497826-enya-wins-rte-choice-music-classic-album-award-for-2024/ |language=en}}</ref> Enya's award was celebrated at [[Vicar Street]], Dublin, in the late hours of 6 March 2025. As Enya was not there in-person for the award, Priscilla Kotey, [[managing director]] of [[Warner Music Ireland]], read out Enya's speech on her behalf[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fnz7k4whg8poe1.png .]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Writer |first=Staff |date=2025-03-07 |title=Iconic Enya album scoops RTÉ Choice Music Prize |url=https://www.donegaldaily.com/2025/03/07/iconic-enya-album-scoops-rte-choice-music-prize/ |access-date=2025-03-07 |website=Donegal Daily |language=en-US}}</ref>
