Untitled

We Are All We Need is the fourth studio album by British progressive trance group Above & Beyond. It was released on 16 January 2015 by Anjunabeats.[2] The album is their first studio album to feature new material since Group Therapy (2011). It is the first album released under the name Above & Beyond not to feature collaborations with British singer-songwriter Richard Bedford. However it features a track with Justine Suissa, the group's longtime collaborator on the OceanLab project. While the melodies are of the same quality as previous albums, the group has stepped away from an uplifting trance sound to a slower progressive house style, with some similarities to Group Therapy, but as heard in Alan Bank's remixes of Peace of Mind and We're All We Need, it can be changed into the old uplifting 138BPM with the melodies intact through bringing the tempo up.

The album debuted at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the group's highest-charting album. In the United States, We Are All We Need debuted at number 34 on the Billboard 200, becoming the group's highest-charting album. The album also debuted at number one on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart. It sold 14,000 copies in its first week in the US, the group's biggest first-week sales.[3]
