( The day we got this cassette of R2k,
It was a day or two before the CD
and accompanied magazine came out. )

" Alright, which of you
wise guys
stole my top shirt?! "
"
WHAT? You got a problem? "
" Haven't you ever seen a
bullet-proof bra before? "
" It's my Dad's idea, OK! "
" Wait till you see my..."
" Never mind. "

I didn't think Regine would top Mariah Carey.
But I'll be darn if she didn't.

In the creative sense. 

such a new refreshing feel to those old songs .

Excellent Music!
Sorry for thinking R2K was a bad name.
It's definitely not.

U P D A T E

Nov 2000 -Listening to the album all over again 11 months after
it was released - It sounds better than ever! R2K is Regine's
masterpiece. To finally see a Filipino artist do this kind of work 
leaves me a happy state of shock. Sure I knew she had potential 
and all but it came in scattered pieces here and there. But not
all in one time like this. Not since her 1990 which had just 1-2
flaws among it's gems that I seen a OPM album so complete. The
production, the packaging, the material picked -you would think
alot of important people were involve in this one. But I heard
some things about it as she was putting it together. And it was
like 'old hat' to her. 

Makes one think how many more like this she would have made the
last decade if she was running her career like she is now. Though
I mourn for the lost time it's a comfort to see her making up
for it by going for it at full speed. She's a part of 4 albums
this year alone. And has 2 on the board for next year.

So there it is. R2K the album that spent 11 straight months in 
the TOP 5. Where every song was a potential hit and most of the
ones that were released were monsters. Will there be a RETRO 3?
I hope so. She's the only one so far who knows how to sing those
songs and really feel it. For herself and for us. While it's mostly
greatest hits collections that live on I got s feeling R2K will be
one of those rare ones that will last just as long.
