where I can do playlists on anything really. I started it off with a collection of tracks released in 1993. Gems that are turning thirty this year. One of my hopes for this year is that Destiny’s Child get back together. With Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams forming the classic line-up, I think we would all love to see them get back together. I have written about the U.S. trio before, but I have been getting back into them. Their latest album together, Destiny Fulfilled, was released in 2004. I am convinced we have not heard the end of them. My favourite girl group of all-time, their songs are remarkable. I love the conviction, connection, passion and wonderful vocal talents. So powerful, soulful and hypnotic, they have been responsible for some of the most memorable music of their generation. You can tell that modern girl groups like FLO have been influenced by Destiny’s Child. To showcase their legacy and amazing talent, I have selected twenty essential Destiny’s Child cuts. The group has seen some line-up change. LaTavia Roberson, LeToya Luckett and Farrah Franklin were part of the earliest line-up. Beyoncé is the only member who has been there from the very start. Comprising their biggest singles and a few deeper cuts, this is a Digital Mixtape that you will want to keep close to you at all times. If you need music that will get the blood running and the mood lifted, then these diamond tracks from Destiny’s Child…
WILL do the trick.
