Regine Velasquez Hits "LOW KEY"

Asia’s Songbird, Regine Velasquez is singing a different set of notes in her 15th studio album. All 18 tracks of Low Key will surprise everybody. Regine who has a notorious reputation for belting out insanely high notes in both live performances and recording, lives up to the title of her latest album. It drew mixed reviews, ranging from excitement to doubts if the songbird’s shift is good for her. I’ve been following her career for like forever now and I must say that the song selection and delivery baffled me at first. However in retrospection, Regine is Regine. She’s been in this business for 20 something years. She belted ballads that even the most esteemed Hollywood divas can only wish to sing. I believe there’s no affirmation to be done and her new style of singing should be a welcomed reinvention or as what my friend said a breath of fresh air for Regine fans. This is a huge blow to bashers who have incessantly complained about Regine’s “screaming” style of singing.

The melodious and soothing rendition of standard and classic radio friendly songs dating back from the Beatles to the early 80’s and 90s will get you hooked and singing along track after track. My favorite in the record is “Never Be The Same”, a Christopher Cross original; while my sister’s current LSS is “I Never Dreamed Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me”.

This is her first album with Universal Records and is set to be released all throughout Asia. The album includes an instrumental cd for you to sing along with. 4 limited edition posters are up for grabs if you buy it in selected Odyssey and Astrovision record bars. The album reached GOLD status less than a week from day of release.
