Tissot Swiss Watches proudly present Regine Velasquez’ "Covers 2" in cooperation with Montre Watch Shop, MYX, the Manila Bulletin and Red Box Karaoke at the 3rd level, Greenbelt 3 Ayala Center, Makati.

After once more making pop music history a year ago with "Covers," Regine Velasquez, pushes the envelop even further with "Covers 2." Her most ambitious production to date the album is made up of foreign pop favorites presented with innovative arrangements. Regine in the album is the superb interpreter who takes on well-established favorites and gives them her own twist.

"I saw how people enjoyed my versions of Filipino hits in the first ‘Covers’ album," says the popular Songbird. "So I thought it might be a good idea to also do ‘Covers 2’ but with old foreign hits. I picked out songs that are rarely recorded by other artists and then gave them new, interesting arrangements."

To truly make "Covers 2" an exciting experience for all listeners, Regine assembled a select group of producers, arrangers and musicians who then gave their own interpretation of the songs.

These are "Call Me," "Head Over Feet," "Let’s Stay Together," "Come Together," "Never Give Up," "Kiss on My List," "Silly Love Song," "Straight Up," "Xanadu," "Take a Chance," "Still in Love," "Blue Suede Shoes," "So Much in Love," "On the Radio," "Kiss" and the first single release "Hold Me in Your Arms," which was originally popularized by Rick Astley in the ‘80s.

"Covers 2" is available on Viva Records tapes and CD’s.

"i'm not supposed to love you" and "piano in the dark" did not make it to the final selection of songs...sayang, i would love to hear her version of piano in the dark...the album was great! it puts me in the mood when i listen to it on my way to work...salamat talaga kay idol for always giving us her fans, something new...just when i thought i heard everything there is to hear from her, she would come out with covers 2...lahat ng songs, magaganda but the ones that i keep on hearing in my head are call me, straight up and take a chance on me...this is another hit album.

She left those two songs off the album?

Thank you for that fan inside buzz.

As expected, the songbird's latest album turns platinum. this once again proves that regine is still a force to reckon with in the recording industry...even with the very little support from viva, the album still managed to reach the platinum mark in a very short span of time...it is a rare feat, sa pagkakaalam ko sya pa lang ang nakakagawa nito na in 1 or 2 days nag-go-gold na or in 1 week, nagpa-platinum...naalala ko tuloy way back in 1997 or 1998 when regine was awarded a triple platinum for "retro," sabi ng tagapolycosmic na wala pa raw silang ginagawa but the album turned triple platinum...anyway, covers 2 is a great album, it is something different and given more promotion and support from viva, it can reach higher heights...namimiss ko lang yung drawn, r2k days when viva would really go full blast with promo and write-ups...hay, siguro talagang ganyan sa mundo nila...but still congratulations to the songbird for another successful album and here's looking forward for more...
