About this album

The Lexicon of Love is ABC’s immaculate synth-pop debut, turning glossy production and brittle wit into one of the defining British pop albums of the 1980s. Released in 1982, it paired Martin Fry’s dandyish lyrical swagger with Trevor Horn’s lavish studio craft, giving songs such as Poison Arrow and The Look of Love a new level of orchestral sheen and melodic precision. The result helped make ABC stand apart from much of the era’s new wave, balancing dancefloor energy with sharp, self-aware romance. Its critical reputation has only grown, with the album widely regarded as a landmark of sophisticated pop songwriting and production.
