Retro is the eighth studio album of Filipino singer-actress Regine Velasquez, released in 1996 through PolyGram Records.[1][2] The album contains new arrangements of songs 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".[3] Velasquez also did an acoustic version of Orleans's "Dance With Me" as a duet with her mother, Teresita Velasquez.[3] Although most of the songs are remakes there are two songs ("Nothing Left for Me" and the lyrics to "Fly") with original content.[3]
