Our Take

Welcome, dear readers, to the whimsical world of ABC and their sophomore album "The Lexicon of Love." Released in 1982, this record is a vibrant melting pot of soulful melodies, slick production, and of course, frontman Martin Fry's iconic gold lamé suit.

From the moment you press play, you are whisked away on a glitzy rollercoaster ride of 80s nostalgia. With tracks like the uber-catchy "Poison Arrow" and the heartbreaking "All of My Heart," it's impossible not to get swept up in Fry's melodramatic crooning.

The real star of the show, though, is the lush orchestral arrangements courtesy of producer Trevor Horn. Horn's magic touch elevates the album to new heights, turning what could have been just another synth-pop record into a symphonic masterpiece.

But let's not forget Fry's lyrics, which are as cheeky and self-assured as ever. Whether he's comparing a failed relationship to a game of table tennis in "Tears Are Not Enough" or declaring his undying love in "The Look of Love," Fry's wit and charm are on full display.

So, to sum it up, "The Lexicon of Love" is a delicious slice of 80s pop perfection that will have you dancing, crying, and singing along in equal measure. If you're in the mood for some glittering escapism, look no further than this gem of an album. Cheers to ABC for delivering the goods once again.
