I have been listening a lot to the new Alison Moyet album recently (it's very, very good!). But now we step back in time - to the magical year of 1986.
"Is This Love" was released in November 1986 as the first single from Alison's sophomore album Raindancing. The song became a big hit all over Europe. It also became her second biggest solo single in the UK, peaking at #3 ("That Ole Devil Called Love" reached #2 the year before). The album also became her second biggest album, peaking at #2 (following the #1 position of Alf in 1984).
Alison may have felt at the time that she was "being pushed" into a very commercial direction, but the hits she had from those two album remain her biggest (and certainly among her best). Oh, and the extended version of this track is excellent! Sadly the same can not be said for the music video!
Have a great weekend!
