Destiny's Child - #1's

Description

Destiny's Child were the biggest female R&B group of late 1990s and early 2000s, with a superstar status rivaled only by TLC. Despite the media circus surrounding the strife between the rotating members of the group (Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, LaTavia Roberson, LeToya Luckett, and Farrah Franklin), Destiny's Child managed to rack up an astonishing string of #1 hits, all of which are collected on the appropriately named #1's. Early smashes like the smooth, rhythmically stuttering "Bills, Bills, Bills," the moody mid-tempo slow jam "Say My Name," and "Independent Women Part 1" (the theme to the film CHARLIE'S ANGELS) are here, of course, as are later hits like their cover of the Gibb brothers' "Emotion" and the sweeping inspirational ballad "Stand Up for Love," the anthem for World Children's Day 2005. With their seductive delivery, elaborate vocal embellishments, and call-and-response dynamics, Destiny's Child cast the mold for urban contemporary R&B at the turn of the century, topping it off with a slick production informed by hip-hop. An overview that shows the group doing what they do best, #1'S is a testament to their reigning influence and superstar status. This DualDisc presents the CD version of #1's on one side and a DVD version with surround-sound mix and bonus material (including seven music videos and a trailer for the DESTINY'S CHILD: LIVE IN ATLANTA concert film) on the other.
