Our Take
Our Take
Ah, The Lexicon of Love, an album that truly encapsulates the essence of 80s glamour and heartbreak. ABC, the brainchild of the sensational Martin Fry, have crafted a masterpiece that not only showcases their musical prowess but also their penchant for dramatic flair.
From the moment the iconic strings of "The Look of Love" kick in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Fry's smooth vocals effortlessly glide over lush arrangements, creating a sound that is both sophisticated and utterly infectious. The glossy production, courtesy of the legendary Trevor Horn, elevates the album to new levels of brilliance.
Tracks like "Poison Arrow" and "All of My Heart" are instant classics, with their catchy hooks and swooning melodies leaving you completely spellbound. But it's on deeper cuts like "Valentine's Day" and "4 Ever 2 Gether" where ABC truly shine, delving into themes of love and loss with a raw honesty that is both refreshing and bittersweet.
The Lexicon of Love is an album that deserves to be celebrated for its boldness, its charm, and its sheer audacity. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass of champagne, slip into your best suit or dress, and let ABC whisk you away to a world of unadulterated glamour and emotion. You won't regret it.
