Starting Over Again
During the release of her third single from her jukebox album, Sheryn started hinting the public of an upcoming fourth album with a tentative June release. Due to the impressive performance of Sheryn's third album,
Star Records decided to revert back to the genre of songs similar to those from her first two albums. It was also during the planning stages of her fourth album that Sheryn became part of
Star Magic, the talent management arm of her mother station,
ABS-CBN.
The album, aptly entitled
Starting Over Again, released its first single bearing the same title, which is based on the
Natalie Cole version (the song was originally sung by
Dionne Warwick with different lyrics), during the final week of May. The album contains seven revivals and three originals. Sheryn, along with her husband, penned an English original entitled My Heart Beats for You. Anabelle Regalado, managing director of
Star Records, also contributed a Tagalog original entitled Sana Nandito Ka. Vehnee Saturno, who is also one of the composers on the album with his song Patunayan Mo, was also its producer. This is the first time that one of Sheryn's albums was produced by somebody other than producer Jonathan Manalo.
The carrier of her fourth album was chosen as an official theme song of
ABS-CBN's Koreanovela,
Three Dads with One Mommy.
Her second single It Must Have Been Love is now airing in different radio stations and reigning also in different countdowns. Always, Where Do Broken Hearts Go and My Heart Beats For You(Sheryn Regis' own composition) are also released but as an unofficial singles. These songs are released due to the request of most of the radio stations in the Philippines.
