Description
ABC have recorded a sequel to their classic ‘The Lexicon of Love’ after 34 years.

For the new album Fry brought back composer Anne Dudley, who arranged the strings on the original Lexicon. Dudley has co-written two new songs ‘The Love Inside The Love’ and ‘Brighter Than The Sun’. Also contributing to the 10 new songs are Grammy award winner Rob Fusari (Beyonce, Lady Gaga) and film composer Charlie Mole and Marcus Vere. Production is by Gary Stevenson and Martin Fry.

Fry had been working on this sequel for four years. “We performed a show at the Albert Hall a couple of years ago to mark the 30th anniversary of The Lexicon of Love. It struck me there and then that it was time to make a sequel,” singer Martin Fry said in a statement. “To explore those themes once again and to look at love through the eyes of a man in later life. Now the years have passed, my perspective on life and love has changed. I wanted to make an album that reflected that.”

It will be hard to live up to this album, as it's still one of my favorites from the 80's. But you better believe I'll check it out.

Interesting. It appears no other original members other than Fry will reprise their roles from the original album.

It would've been nice if Trevor Horn had returned as producer, as I think he and Dudley had a great deal to do with the sound of the original album.
