You could also further classify much of her music as "Contemporary Celtic" and, to a lesser degree, "Adult Alternative."

Enya is "New Age" or "Celtic" depending where you are looking for her CD's. I love Enya, she is from Ireland and she sings some of her songs in Gaelic. I have several of her CD's.
