In 1999, aTurkishartistHülya Avşarcovered 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 Turkeythen decided upon the release ofRe!inTurkey.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 localTV stations."Eimai Poli Kala", directed by Nikos Soulis, was especially acclaimed at the time for the use ofCGIgraphics, applied on real-life locations around the city ofAthens,a relatively unknown technology for the Greek market.
