Lookin for love in all the right places...Miss Regina. October 2, 2006
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I was speechless when I first listened to this CD... and learned that the days of (record companies) promoting great music CDs is GONE GONE GONE forever...period and evidently~ I most agree with reviewer Phyllis Rhodes. A jazz/r&b CD can not get too much better, especially when it comes to fun, melody, and relaxation. We must now always search-out to find great music...like this! ...no label is gonna help us find it.
I must respectfully thank Miss Regina plus all the fine musicians and producers. Love the satin dress too :-)

Like many,I like the exquisite vocals and style of Regina's recent records.
The production of this offering is excellent,the orchestration and effects are,at times,haunting : overall an impressive album from one of the greatest and most acclaimed artists of our days.
The atmosphere of the CD makes it ideal of late night listenings , but I can enjoy it anytime,day or night.
With r&b and jazz enjoying a renaissance of sorts,there's still a crucial aspect missing from many of their practitioners : SOUL.
Anyone looking for some excellent,hearfelt soul/jazz for their CDs library would be obliged to pick up "This Is Regina".
They won't be disappointed.
Flawless !
 Not Regina's best work July 8, 2006

I love Regina Belle, but comparing Lazy Afternoon (#3), Believe In Me (#2), Stay With Me (#4), All By Myself (#5), Reaching Back (#1) and Passion (#6) to this CD, it would have to rank Believe in Me (#7) last on the list. Her vocals are strong but the material are predictable boring R&B tunes. This is the only one of her CDs that is not on heavy rotation on my CD player or computer.
I am such a huge fan of Regina and I cannot wait for the followup to Lazy Afternoon.
Another beautiful cd of hers @}->--- June 10, 2006

Regina Belle is one of my all time favourite female R&B singers. She's so talented and it shows through this cd. It's beautiful. I really do love all of these songs although four really stand out. I love Don't Wanna Go Home, Let Me Hold You, Take My Time and What If. This is a cd that you can listen to over and over again without tiring of it. She's got a voice like an angel and if you are an R&B fan, you should get this for your collection because it's fantastic and very soulful. I love it.
Unmatched vocal artistry ! May 13, 2006

Super vocal diva Regina Belle brings back the long forgotten essense of Soul/Jazz with 'This Is Regina',a collection of soul-spiked grooves that touch some hefty jazzy hooks and return to mainstream.
Partnering with legendary songwriter/producer Barry Eastmond - who crafted some of thes new jazzy-lounge nocturnes specially to showcase Regina's unparalleled vocal skills - Regina Belle swaggers with a smouldering,slow-burning passion and intensity.
'Oooh Boy' and 'Johnny's Back'alone are reasons enough why this CD should be a part of your pocket even if you're a few quarters short after the splurge....
'Take Your Time' and "Someone Who Neeeds Me" are two other articulate , stylized tracks,which sit comfortably
in the sheer range and expression of this album's tonal gradations.
Regina's 'This Is Regina',to summarize,is an original and much needed punch in the fluffy omelette of good pop.
Highly recommended !!
