In a world where fleeting trends often dictate the soundscape of electronic music, Above & Beyond continue to defy gravity—not by reinventing themselves, but by staying true to the essence of connection that has always defined their music. With Carry Me Home, the trio—Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki—unleash the second track from their upcoming artist album Bigger Than All Of Us, and once again, they’ve teamed up with the irreplaceable Zoë Johnston to deliver something timeless.
Zoë Johnston is no stranger to fans of Above & Beyond. Their creative synergy dates back over two decades to 2004’s iconic No One On Earth, and since then, Johnston has been the heart and voice behind many of A&B’s most beloved tracks (Love Is Not Enough, We’re All We Need, You Got To Go, and more). Her voice doesn’t just float over the mix—it lives inside the melodies, bringing a rare emotional depth that few vocalists in trance can rival.
On Carry Me Home, Zoë delivers a poignant message wrapped in warmth and vulnerability. “I think sometimes we’re so used to carrying everything (worries, responsibilities, fears) by ourselves, that we forget how blissful it can be to have someone step in and say ‘let me help you,’” she shared. That sentiment comes through loud and clear, wrapped in soaring synth lines, emotional chord progressions, and that signature Above & Beyond polish.
Musically, the track is a textbook slice of vocal trance—euphoric yet grounded, driving yet emotional. The 130 bpm tempo keeps the energy moving, while the lush production provides enough space for Johnston’s vocals to breathe and bloom. It’s the kind of track that catches you off guard during a set, leaving you teary-eyed on the dancefloor, arms around strangers who suddenly feel like family.
Debuted on SiriusXM and played out to massive crowds at Ultra Music Festival and both weekends of Coachella, Carry Me Home has already made its mark on Above & Beyond’s recent live shows. It also served as the emotional centerpiece to their brand-new stage production—a refined, elevated experience that underscores the maturity and depth of this new chapter.
Bigger Than All Of Us, their fifth artist album, is shaping up to be a deeply personal project. As the trio put it, “This album is us appreciating how amazing this thing we have is… When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.” That mantra—unity, togetherness, shared joy—beats at the heart of Carry Me Home. It’s not just a song. It’s a hug in audio form.
If Quicksand (Don’t Go) hinted at reconnection, Carry Me Home fully embraces it—with open arms and an open heart. This is Above & Beyond doing what they do best: writing music that speaks to the soul.
