Above & Beyond Announce Release Date For Long-Awaited ‘Heart of Stone’

By Jennifer Dewitt September 3, 2024 2 mins read 80 Views

It’s been a while, but we’re finally anticipating Richard Bedford’s next venture with the Trance trio.

Heart. Of. Stone. For some of you, fellow readers, this might have been the most awaited ID Above & Beyond premiered two entire years ago at the ABGT500 milestone show. That night in Los Angeles would mark the last time the three guys would be spotted playing together, as they decided to call ABGT550 off in exchange for more time in the studio, and all gigs but ABGT are performed by two of the three, always. This year, they’re returning. But the ID won’t be an ID anymore.

‘Heart of Stone’ will be released next Thursday, September 5th, on Anjunabeats.

The vocal track, which features the iconic male voice of Trance, Richard Bedford, is the next chapter of uncountable ventures of the four artists coming together. He’s the unmistakable voice behind countless Above & Beyond anthems such as ‘Sun & Moon’, ‘Thing Called Love’, and ‘Alone Tonight’.

In fact, he’s the chosen voice whenever the boys have something to say in a masculine timbre. As Tony mentioned earlier this month in our exclusive interview with him:

These are male songs written from a male perspective. And so when we found Richard Bedford, that was kind of, for me, one of the most important things that we did as Above & Beyond, because I think a lot of our fans are men. I don’t mind the women that come to see us [laughter], but I’m writing songs from a male perspective. (…) I don’t know, but there’s a difference in the kind of songs that I write and the kind of songs that Zoë writes. So I’m happy that a man is delivering them, because I think they need to have that male delivery.
-Tony McGuinness

Since its debut, ‘Heart of Stone’ has mesmerised audiences at EDC Las Vegas, Group Therapy Weekender at the Gorge Amphitheatre, and Printworks in London. And it will now grace Mexico City, as the band and the entire label heads over to the Hipódromo de las Américas on October 19th and 20th for ABGT600.

So, it’s time to set your calendars for what’s going to be quite an eventful day. Pre-save Above & Beyond and Richard Bedford’s new journey, by clicking here. And make sure to follow our page to stay up to date on the latest news and views regarding our beloved Dance music industry.
