The Official Loreena McKennitt Thread

[explodingbird]

Yep. it's a big shame she's not more well-known like her contemporary, Enya (I... still have no idea why they draw comparisons. Love them BOTH, but... they're... not each other) - she definitely has the talent.

I personally love The Old Ways the best. It excites me - it just feels tense and foreboding. Tango to Evora is wonderful too. Aside from Greensleeves, I can't think of a song she's made since The Visit that I haven't LOVED.

But yeah, An Ancient Muse is due out November 20th worldwide, November 21st in the U.S., to my knowledge. It's a damn good album (I'm letting it sink in though... I don't often have much of a good memory for albums/songs the first listen-through), and the cover is gorgeous. Very wintry and blue.



I'm just glad she's making music again. I missed her (although I do understand why she went on hiatus for a bit, so...)
