Raindancing is the second studio album by singer/songwriter Alison Moyet. The album includes four single releases; "Is This Love?" (co-written by the Eurythmics' David A. Stewart under his 'Jean/Manu Guiot' pseudonym), "Weak in the Presence of Beauty", "Ordinary Girl" and "Sleep Like Breathing", a duet with David Freeman of the band The Lover Speaks. The US version of Raindancing was released with a different cover and the tracks in re-arranged order.
