We Are All We Need

Released in 2015, We Are All We Need represents Above & Beyond's most commercially successful pivot toward a polished, 'A-grade pop' sensibility within the trance framework. Following the massive success of Group Therapy, this record solidified their transition from underground trance icons to global festival headliners. It is notable for being their first studio album without longtime vocalist Richard Bedford, instead introducing a diverse range of voices including Zoë Johnston, Alex Vargas, and Gemma Hayes, which shifted the album's emotional palette toward a more varied, ensemble-driven feel. While some critics and long-term fans noted a departure from the deeper, progressive roots of their debut Tri-State, the album was praised for its impeccable production standards and its ability to translate complex emotional themes into accessible club anthems. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart and remains a cornerstone of the modern progressive trance canon.
