Above & Beyond<\/a> have triumphantly returned to the spotlight with Bigger Than All Of Us<\/em>, one of their most introspective and meticulously crafted projects to date. It\u2019s an expansive tapestry that interlaces their emotional acumen with an unmistakable sense of collective purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis album is us appreciating how amazing this thing we have is. The realization of how lucky we are that we get to be part of something like this for 25 years, and to have built a community that cares for each other in the way it does,” the group remarked in a press release shared with EDM.com<\/em>. “When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clocking in as Above & Beyond\u2019s fifth fully electronic album, Bigger Than All Of Us<\/em>\u00a0represents the return from their lengthiest intermission since Common Ground<\/em>\u00a0in 2018. That gap has imbued the trio with renewed vision, distilled through varied individual side endeavors and reconvened synergy.<\/p>\n

The album unfurls with each track mixing seamlessly into the next. \u201cCarry Me Home\u201d with Zo\u00eb Johnston ignites with ascending beats and cathartic vocals pleading, \u201ccan you lift me up?\u201d over its trance-club backbone, delivering unadulterated bliss. Later on, \u201cBlood From A Stone\u201d featuring Richard Bedford diverges into euphoric drum & bass, with Bedford\u2019s nostalgic lyricism resonating in tandem with feel\u2011good production. \u201cHere Before\u201d with Oliver Smith & Opposite The Other juggles sweeping cinematic trance with electrifying house layers, injecting raw dancefloor energy. Finally, \u201cLullaby\u201d closes the journey, unhurried and reflective, nurturing the album\u2019s message: the scene transcends any single performer.<\/p>\n

Vocal contributions from both long\u2011standing partners like Zo\u00eb Johnston, Justine Suissa, and Richard Bedford, as well as fresh collaborators Victoria Horn, Malou, Oliver Smith, Opposite The Other grant the album both depth and novelty. The sequencing underscores Above & Beyond\u2019s expertise in emotional dynamics and energy modulation, engineered to be consumed in a single, immersive sitting.<\/p>\n

As intended,\u00a0Bigger Than All Of Us<\/em> is a testament to the power of community in dance music\u2019s ever\u2011evolving puzzle.<\/p>\n
