ABC – Skyscraping Album Lyrics
"Skyscraping" finds ABC embracing a more guitar-driven rock sound that marked a significant departure from their earlier synth-pop sophistication, trading the glossy sheen of their '80s hits for a grittier, more emotionally raw approach. The album captures a band grappling with vulnerability and dependence, as evidenced in the yearning lyrics of tracks like "Stranger Things" where Martin Fry's distinctive vocals convey a sense of searching for stability and connection. At 17 tracks, the record feels expansive yet intimate, with the repeated title track suggesting themes of ambition and reaching for something just out of grasp. The sound is anchored by more prominent guitar work and a looser, less polished production that allows for moments of genuine emotional weight alongside ABC's trademark melodic sensibilities.
