About
Common Ground is the sixth studio album by British progressive trance group Above & Beyond. It was released on 26 January 2018 on Anjunabeats. The album is their first studio album to feature new material since We Are All We Need (2015) and includes appearances from frequent collaborators Richard Bedford, Justine Suissa, and Zoë Johnston plus new guest vocalist Marty Longstaff. In an interview with Billboard coinciding with Ultra Music Festival 2017, Above & Beyond revealed that the group was about "three-quarters of the way through" with their work on a new electronic album. The single "Tightrope" featuring Marty Longstaff and the title track "Common Ground" (originally titled "The Power of Vulnerability") were also premiered at Ultra 2017 and at the group's RC Cola Plant show two days before. The confetti-inspired artwork style for the album was revealed with the release of "Tightrope" on 4 August and the following release of "My Own Hymn", accompanied by a lyric video, on 8 September. The album title and cover were revealed at the end of the group's performance at their ABGT 250 event on 16 September 2017.
