Tendance is a studio album by French singer Amanda Lear issued by Sony Music Germany in 2003. Tendance, taking its title from a French TV-series hosted by Lear at the time, is an expanded re-release of 2001's Heart. This edition omits "Manuel Guerreiro Da Luz" but adds three tracks; the oriental remix of hit single "Love Boat", entitled "Rainbow Love Boat", Lear's theme song to Italian TV-series Cocktail D'Amore, composed by long-time collaborator Cristiano Malgioglio, and her 2002 duet with Belgian boyband Get Ready!, "Beats Of Love", a cover version of the 1984 European hit single by band Nacht Und Nebel.
