Re! is 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. 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.

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", pushing sales to Gold status, with more than 40,000 units sold. The lyrics of the bonus tracks, though, were not included in the album's liner notes and overall no significant change was made in the 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 2× Platinum in Turkey.

The singles "Eimai Poli Kala", "Re!", "Amin" and "Eleni" were released on accompanying promotional videos during 1994 and 1995, all of which aired in local TV stations. "Eimai Poli Kala", directed by Nikos Soulis, was especially acclaimed at the time for the use of CGI graphics, applied on real-life locations around the city of Athens, a relatively unknown technology for the Greek market.

In 2001, "Eimai Poli Kala" and "Eleni" were selected for digital release on Vissi's The Video Collection.

In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material.
