"Raindrops (Encore une fois)" is the 2008 single by Sash!. It features the British dance music act Stunt. The song was released on the most recent "Best Of" album by Sash!. The remix that was most popular was by Kindervater.

Mashup

"Raindrops (Encore une fois)" is a mashup of Sash!'s hit single "Encore une fois" and Stunt's single "Raindrops". The mashup was provided by German dance project Kindervater, and the song was released as a song by Sash! and Stunt as they both were attracted by the mashup and also both featured in the video. The single didn't prove to be as popular as "Encore une fois", but it was more successful than "Raindrops". In November 2008, the song was included on the compilation album Now, Vol. 71 in the UK.

Music video

The music video is set in a club with people dancing whilst the singer sings in the middle of the dance floor. It shows clips of a couple running away and later kissing passionately. The video was uploaded onto YouTube on 5 September 2008, when it was uploaded onto Hard2Beat's official channel. The main video has received more than 11 million views as of March 2016.[1] In the video Sash! is playing and can be seen in the background, there is also shots of Stunt's singer, Molly Smitten-Downes singing in the club when it is empty and others of her sat on a bench. When the words "Encore Une Fois" are first heard the camera cuts to a shot of a woman's cleavage, this scene was censored from major music television stations.
