Re! is the name of a Greek album by singer Anna Vissi released in Greece and Cyprus on December 24, 1994. It was recorded in London at Whitfield Street Recording Studios and released by Sony Music Greece.[1] It is the most acoustic album Vissi has released up to date. It was repackaged in 1995 to include the songs "Amin", "Eleni" and a remix of "Eimai Poli Kala". Music and lyrics are by Nikos Karvelas and Evi Droutsa.[1]

Release

Re! was originally released on December 24, 1994 featuring ten songs. In early to mid 1995, the album was re-released to include the songs "Amin" and "Eleni" and a remix of "Eimai Poli Kala". The lyrics of the bonus tracks, though, were not included in the album's liner notes and overally no significant change was made in the album's original artwork. In 1999, a Turkish artist Hülya Avşar covered the single "Eleni" with the Turkish lyrics as "Sevdim" (I loved), which met moderate success, while radio stations also picked up the original version by Anna Vissi. Sony Music Turkey then decided upon the release of Re! in Turkey. The album reached 2x Platinum in Turkey.[2]
