1996 retro full album


Retro is the eighth studio album of Filipino singer-actress Regine Velasquez, released in 1996 through Polycosmic Records Inc., under MCA-Phil in the Philippines and through Mercury Records under PolyGram Records as pan-Asian studio album.

Contents

The album contains covers from the 1970s and 1980s such as Andy Gibb's "I Can't Help It", a duet with Remus Choy of Grasshopper, Melissa Manchester's "Through the Eyes of Love" and Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is". Velasquez also did an acoustic version of Orleans's "Dance With Me" which is a duet with her mother, Teresita Velasquez. Even though the majority of the songs recorded are covers, two songs ("Nothing Left for Me" and the lyrics to "Fly") pertain original content throughout the entire album.
