about

Canvas is the ninth solo album from the Grammy Winner and First Lady of Celtic Music, Moya Brennan. This collection of original songs is steeped in her Celtic roots - Moya comes from Donegal in the NW of Ireland. But, more than ever before, the album has a contemporary twist due in no small part to her cowriters/ composers, daughter Aisling and son Paul, both in their early twenties with strong ambient electronica and contemporary singer-songwriter influences. Moya's haunting, ethereal, vocals have been her unique hallmark both in her years with Celtic music pioneers, Clannad, and in her own solo recordings and film work. The album contains some songs in Moya s native language, Gaeilge, while other songs celebrate, for instance, elemental/environmental themes or lament the child victims of needless war and conflict. Musically Canvas unveils a spectrum from poignant, fragile beauty through to dramatic, symphonic peaks.
