Tendance (French for Trend) is a reissue of French singer Amanda Lear's studio album Heart. The album was released in 2003 by Le Marais Prod. and Sony Music.

Background

Tendance is an expanded re-release of the 2001 studio album Heart, taking its title from one of the songs, which in turn was named after a fashion and trends show hosted by Lear on French channel Match TV.[1] Because of re-titling and significant changes to the track listing, Tendance is considered a separate release in Amanda Lear discography.

This edition omits "Manuel do guerreido da luz" but adds three other tracks: the oriental remix of the single "Love Boat", entitled "Rainbow Love Boat", her 2002 duet with Belgian boyband Get Ready!, "Beats of Love", a cover version of the 1984 hit single by Belgian band Nacht und Nebel, and "Cocktail d'amore", the theme tune to Lear's 2002 Italian TV series of the same name, a top-rated nostalgic show celebrating music of the 1980s on which she interviewed some of Italy's most famous stars. The tracks "Cocktail d'amore" and "L'importante è finire" were originally written by Cristiano Malgioglio for Stefania Rotolo and Mina, respectively. Malgioglio then recorded his versions of both songs on his 1983 album Bellissime which also included "Ho fatto l'amore con me", a song he had written for Lear's 1980 album Diamonds for Breakfast.[2] Tendance also features the English version of the track "Vol de nuit", re-titled "Travel by Night", and the Pumpin' Dolls remix of the single "I Just Wanna Dance Again", which had been used in the music video for the song.[3] The album retains the cover picture and artwork of the second edition of Heart.

The album was re-released on digital platforms in September 2019, excluding three bonus tracks from the original CD edition, but adding the unreleased song "Phoenix" as well as the French version of "Travel by Night".[4] [5]
