abstract:Tendance is an expanded re-release of French singer Amanda Lear's 2001 album Heart, issued by Sony Music Germany in 2003, taking its title from a French TV-series hosted by Lear at the time. The German edition omits "Manuel Guerreiro Da Luz" but adds three other tracks; the oriental remix of hit single "Love Boat", entitled "Rainbow Love Boat", Lear's theme song to her Italian TV-series Cocktail D'Amore composed by long-time collaborator Cristiano Malgioglio, and her 2002 duet with Belgian boyband Get Ready!
That ghostly union also emerges in work by the artists and groups associated with the international trend Nouvelle Tendance, who emphasized the collective and impersonal, favoring high-tech materials, geometric forms, light, movement and an active engagement with the viewer.
