ABC - The Lexicon of Love II

Review by Dan Lucas

To their/his credit, ABC/Fry have done a reasonable job with The Lexicon of Love II»

Buy now from:

A mere 34 years since the release of one of the landmark albums of the 80s, ABC return to the scene. Sonically doffing its cap to the original, it features 10 brand new songs from the pen of ABC kingpin Martin Fry abetted by various musical cohorts. It might take a less innocent, more experienced view on affairs of the heart than its million selling predecessor, but it still concludes that all you need is love. Foremost among Fry's collaborators on the new album is Academy Award winning musician and composer Anne Dudley, who arranged the strings on the original Lexicon; she has provided orchestral arrangements that give 'The Lexicon Of Love II' its signature sound.
