[item value="10"]Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston - My Own Hymn[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Above & Beyond collaborate with the always impressive singer & songwritter Zoë Johnston for the truly unbelievable My Own Hymn. The track finds Above & Beyond in their typical current big room trance era but with stronger melodic trance elements that testifies the slow resurrection of trance all over the globe. The track has the emotional impetus and the energy needed to make us singalong with hands in the air attempting to reach higher than the previous time. Mesmerizing piano chords, Ibiza like trance melodies, warm strings and orchestral touches underline the melodramatic tone of Zoe who once again manages to go deeper and celebrate the good that is inside on every person on this Universe. The lyrics are heartwarming and helpful to encourage and empower the listeners who can discover the good and recognise the bad in their souls. Huge uplifting colorful synths drive the track to its explosive climax ready to blow us up and away or better Above & Beyond! Truth is simple but not all the people have the strength to see it and this song may support them to do it as safe and sound as possible. The Extended mix is what the DJs were waiting for with chunky grooves, thumping basslines, emotional melodic layers and hair raising synthy hooks in the breakdown leading to the massive epic climax that you wish to go on for hours. Not to missed, one of the biggest trance anthems for 2017 #PureGold Love iT[/content]
