The Lexicon of Love II is the ninth studio album by the English band ABC. It was released on 27 May 2016 on Virgin EMI, eight years after their previous album Traffic.
After a 2009 performance of ABC's 1982 studio album The Lexicon of Love in concert with Anne Dudley, lead singer of the band Martin Fry felt that it was time to develop a proper follow-up to the album. He wrote over 40 songs for The Lexicon of Love II with various guest writers and recorded it with himself and Gary Stevenson producing. On the album's release, it received generally favourable reviews.
