Homegrown soul produced by Trevor Horn and featuring the pop hit "Look of Love", The Lexicon of Love is bursting with hooks, clever lyrics, and synthetic funk-inspired grooves that have aged remarkably well since the early 1980s. ABC frontman Martin Fry delivers emotionally charged vocals—equal parts naive and cynical—elevated by sweeping horn and string arrangements that create a dramatic, larger-than-life sound. As a defining moment in British pop, the album captures the transition from post-punk to a more sophisticated Brit-funk era, marked by sharp songwriting and danceable sophistication. With its literate lyrics and lush production, this album remains a standout release of 1982, often compared to Elvis Costello's Imperial Bedroom for lyrical wit—yet uniquely built for the dance floor.
