Favorite solo releases

What are some of your favorite albums or EPs released by current or former Celtic Woman members, choir members, or choir members? These can include collaborations between current and/or former members recorded separately from Celtic Woman.
Some of mine:
Alex Sharpe Sings the Music of Shaun Purcell
is an album that doesn't get mentioned often these days, but it's really good!
CaraNua did some great work while they were recording together, featuring phenomenal harmony, arranged largely by Lynn Hilary.
Celtic Dreaming
and
Favorite Hymns
were gorgeous and the soundtracks they recorded for Evermore Park were good too.
Chloë's early albums, including her self-titled album and
Walking in the Air
, featured her divine young-soprano voice.
The Thing About You
, recorded with Joshua Spacht, was different than anything Chloë had previously released and it was jaw-droppingly good. Spacht has a way of getting the most out of Chloë's powerful grown-up voice.
Éabha's
Wildflower
, recorded with former Celtic Woman musical directory Gavin Murphy, is one of the absolute best solo albums I've heard. Her album has it all: energy, emotion, relaxing vibes, and profound beauty. This album is essential listening!
Earlier in her career, Hayley recorded a lot of great albums, but
Hayley Sings Japanese Songs
(1 and 2) were among my favorites overall.
Early in her career, Mairéad Carlin recorded
Songbook
. Her voice has grown a lot since then, but the arrangements are great and her high, soft voice is purely gorgeous.
Órla's made a lot of lovely, soothing albums, but I find
Órla Fallon's Celtic Christmas
the most consistently enjoyable throughout.
I currently have the music from 95 solo Celtic-Woman-related albums (86 in physical CD format) and there are a lot of other great ones to choose from.
What are some of your favorites?
