Watermark is the second studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 19 September 1988 by WEA Records. After the release of her previous album Enya (1987), she secured a recording contract with Warner after a chance meeting with chairman Rob Dickins, who had become a fan of her music. Her contract allowed her considerable artistic and creative freedom, with minimal interference from the label and no deadlines to have albums finished.

Watermark is the second studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 19 September 1988 by Warner Music. After the release of her previous album Enya (1987), she secured a recording contract with Warner Music after a chance meeting with chairman Rob Dickins, who had become a fan of her music. The Enya logotype, designed by Laurence Dunmore, was first used on the front cover of Watermark and later used on the majority of her future albums

Opening Enya’s second studio album, Watermark is a piano-based melody flowing over layered vocalisations that act like strings. Despite not actually having lyrics, the title does comes from a poem by lyricist Roma Ryan: With Watermark came from a poem I had written. The rhythm of the poem actually seem to flow with the melody that Enya and Nicky had written and arranged, but we still felt the piece was meant to be an instrumental, so we never adapted the poem to lyric.

Watermark is the second studio album from the Irish musician Enya, released in September 1988 on WEA Records. Following her first album, Enya (1987), produced for the BBC documentary The Celts, Enya signed with WEA, giving her complete artistic freedom on a follow up with no interference from the label. Watermark displays Enya's distinct sound of layered vocals, keyboard sounds, and elements of Celtic music. The album is seen by some as a seminal example of new-age music, though Enya does not consider her music to be of the genre.
