WILD CHILDEnya

Enya – Wild Child (Official Music Video)

This is Enya’s fourth single, a captivating track that fuses a wide range of elements—New Age, Celtic, classical, church, and folk music—into a uniquely original sound.

Chosen as the song for the Honda Elysion commercial, its majestic arrangement and ethereal vocals feel wonderfully soothing.

The spacious atmosphere created by Enya’s signature multi-layered vocals and keyboards seems to heighten the sense of anticipation for a new car.

It’s a remarkable number with an unforgettable melody that both heals and stirs the heart.
