Brit soul produced by Trevor Horn and including the pop hit "Look of Love," The Lexicon of Love is bursting with hooks, clever lyrics, and synthetic funk-inspired grooves that hold up better than most any others from the early '80s. ABC leader Martin Frey sings with a histrionic despair, at once naive and cynical, and all dressed up by horn and string sections that feel positively overwhelming.
