Romance Is on the Rise is an album released in July 1974 by Genevieve Waite. It was produced by her then husband, John Phillips. The album was fairly well received and in 1977 it made number No 98 on Paul Gambaccini's list of the Top 200 Albums of All Time.[1]

An electro-dub cover of the song "Biting My Nails", released in 1987 by Renegade Soundwave, became an underground dance hit.
