Enya: A Treatise on Unguilty Pleasures
Chilly Gonzales
Does music have to be smart or does it just have to go to the heart?
Chilly Gonzales is one of the most exciting, original,
hard-to-pin-down musicians of our time, known as much for the intimate
piano touch of his best-selling Solo Piano album trilogy as for
his sweaty showmanship and composition for award-winning stars. Filling
the world’s great philharmonic halls, at the piano in slippers and a
bathrobe–in any one night he can dissect the musicology of a Billie
Eilish hit, give a sublime solo recital, and display his lyrical
dexterity as a rapper.
In crisp, erudite prose Gonzales delves beyond Enya’s innumerable
gold discs and millions of fans to excavate his own enthusiasm for her
singular music, as well as the mysterious musician herself, and along
the way uncovers new truths about the nature of music, fame, success,
and the artistic endeavour.
