Alison Moyet – Is This Love? (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

A. Front

“Is This Love?” is a song performed by the English singer Alison Moyet and co-written by Moyet and Jean Guiot. The name Jean Guiot is a false one given by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics who actually co-wrote and produced the song. The song was released as the first single from the yet-to-be released album Raindancing in November 1986. The single peaked at #3 on the UK singles chart, #4 Ireland, #3 Norway and #2 South Africa. In the US the single failed to chart.

The music video was filmed at Carlyon Bay near St Austell in Cornwall at the now closed down Cornwall Coliseum entertainment venue, and along the Carlyon Bay beach.
