Above & Beyond’s Album “Bigger Than All Of Us” Delivers a Heartwarming Lesson in Community and Catharsis
Above & Beyond have triumphantly returned to the spotlight with Bigger Than All Of Us, one of their most introspective and meticulously crafted projects to date. It’s an expansive tapestry that interlaces their emotional acumen with an unmistakable sense of collective purpose.
“This 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. "When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.”
Clocking in as Above & Beyond’s fifth fully electronic album, Bigger Than All Of Us represents the return from their lengthiest intermission since Common Ground in 2018. That gap has imbued the trio with renewed vision, distilled through varied individual side endeavors and reconvened synergy.

The album unfurls with each track mixing seamlessly into the next. “Carry Me Home” with Zoë Johnston ignites with ascending beats and cathartic vocals pleading, “can you lift me up?” over its trance-club backbone, delivering unadulterated bliss. Later on, “Blood From A Stone” featuring Richard Bedford diverges into euphoric drum & bass, with Bedford’s nostalgic lyricism resonating in tandem with feel‑good production. “Here Before” with Oliver Smith & Opposite The Other juggles sweeping cinematic trance with electrifying house layers, injecting raw dancefloor energy. Finally, “Lullaby” closes the journey, unhurried and reflective, nurturing the album’s message: the scene transcends any single performer.
Vocal contributions from both long‑standing partners like Zoë 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’s expertise in emotional dynamics and energy modulation, engineered to be consumed in a single, immersive sitting.
As intended, Bigger Than All Of Us is a testament to the power of community in dance music’s ever‑evolving puzzle.
