Uomini più uomini (Italian for Men More Men) is the eighth studio album by French singer Amanda Lear, released in 1989 by Ricordi International.

Background

On Uomini più uomini, Amanda worked only with Italian musicians. The album was recorded in Milan and mixed at Heaven Studio in Rimini, Italy.^[1] The lyrical content of the album talks mainly about love, and is written completely in Italian, making it Lear's first album to consist exclusively of non-English language material. The singer stated the album was recorded as a mean to appeal to Italian audience she had acquired as a TV presenter in Italy.^[2]

Uomini più uomini was only released in Italy where Lear's popularity remained high because of successful television career over the years. No singles were released, although the material received moderate promotion on TV. The album, however, failed to make much impact on charts. It would re-appear under the name Tant qu'il y aura des hommes in France the same year with half of the songs re-recorded in French, adding a new track, "Métamorphose".

The album was initially only available on vinyl and cassette. German company Siebenpunkts Verlags Gmbh has since acquired the publishing rights to the album and in 1993, it was re-released on CD by Farad Records as Indovina chi sono, with a different artwork and re-arranged track listing. Portions of the album would be subsequently re-released many times on different budget CD compilations, combined with tracks from its French language counterpart Tant qu'il y aura des hommes.^[3]
