Her style is very much based on the Irish folk tradition, and that is a style which many people seem to associate with Tolkien's Elves. I can certainly appreciate the association.
Wiki describes her music thusly:

... Enya became known for her unique sound, which was characterized by voice-layering, folk melodies, synthesized backdrops and ethereal reverberations.

... which does sound quite Elvish, although I don't recall any mention of synethisizers in Imladris.
