The Hobbit - Title Song Artists?

Post by Alatar »

There's a thread on Torn about who would make good artists for the title theme. This isn't Howard Shore related, but rather the "End Song".

FotR: Enya - May it be
TTT: Emiliana Torrini - Gollums Song
RotK: Annie Lennox - Into the West (and Use Well the Days)


Somebody suggested the Irish Vocal Group Anúna and I have to say I thought it was an inspired choice. Here's a clip of some selections of their music.

Honestly? I didn't find them particularly appealing, which perhaps says more about me than them.
