Long-time collaborators Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston reunite with ‘Crazy Love’, out now on Anjunabeats.The latest offering from GRAMMY-nominated artists Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston is an uplifting and ethereal trance record, first debuted to 20,000 fans at the trio’s Group Therapy 500 celebration in Los Angeles in 2022. Road tested at Above & Beyond shows such as Red Rocks in Colorado, EDC Las Vegas, and Printworks in London, the track soon became a mainstay in their sets and a highly-sought after ID.
"Crazy Love is inspired by a very beautiful human in my life who is blessed with a lot of gifts but also a lot of incurable struggles which many people don’t see or understand. I adore him for so many reasons, including the fact that he spends none of his time judging others and also does not invest energy in worrying about what others think of him. Crazy Love makes the world so much more colourful!” - Zoë Johnston
Last year, Above & Beyond achieved RIAA Gold-certification on the track, ‘Don’t Leave’, from 2019 ambient album 'Flow State', and were the only British DJs to sell out two consecutive nights at Printworks as part of the iconic London venue’s closing season. They also returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre to helm two shows alongside label stars from Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep, and made an appearance at Insomniac's Escape Halloween festival in California.
The trio’s last single, ‘Over Now’ with Seven Lions and Opposite The Other, achieved Top 30 status on the Billboard and Mediabase radio charts in the US and earned spins on Sirius XM BPM, iHeart Evolution radio and over 600 local stations worldwide.
GRAMMY-nominated singer and songwriter Zoë Johnston first collaborated with Above & Beyond on 2004’s ’No One On Earth’. She’s since co-written and featured on every Above & Beyond dance and acoustic studio album, which includes beloved hits like ‘Good For Me’, ‘You Got To Go’, 'Love Is Not Enough', ‘We’re All We Need’ and ‘Reverie’.
The accomplished British vocalist has also written and recorded songs with the likes of Faithless, Bent and Delirium, and racked up over 12 million combined streams across her catalogue in 2023 alone.
Above & Beyond's next live celebrations will take place at Echostage in Washington DC, followed by shows at Igloofest in Quebec City and New City Gas in Montreal. Tickets on sale now (www.aboveandbeyond.nu/tour).
'Crazy Love' is out now on Anjunabeats.

[item value="10"] Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston - Crazy Love[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The return of the beloved trio Above & Beyond with Zoë Johnston on vocal duties is already warmed welcomed in the trance world. Crazy Love is a magnificent slice of 132 BPM nostalgic driving euphoric vocal trance with chunky kicks, punchy basslines, pounding drums and Ibiza style carefree synthy hooks. The vocals performed in the finest possible way with warm piano chords underneath and melancholic strings while in the breakdown great rock guitar riffs are added to create that accoustic live feel for the track until the massive synthy riffs are unleashed to energize the audience and take us by the hand for the ultimate ride full of excitement and surprises. Crazy Love is an anthem in the making that will be played again and again with reason of course. We follow Above & Beyond on whatever they did so we are happier that with this release take us back in the late 90's trance sound. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
