What was destiny child last song

A war of words followed in the press; meanwhile, the next Destiny's Child single, "Jumpin' Jumpin'," hit the Top Ten, and The Writing's on the Wall went on to sell a whopping eight million copies.

The personnel-turnover drama still wasn't over; in July , just five months after joining, Farrah Franklin split with the group. The official reason was that Franklin missed several promotional appearances and concert gigs, although in later interviews she spoke of too much negativity and too little control in the group environment.

Now reduced to a trio, Destiny's Child was tapped to record the theme song for the film version of Charlie's Angels; released as a single in October, "Independent Women, Pt. In the meantime, toward the end of , Roberson and Luckett dropped the portion of their lawsuit aimed at Rowland and Knowles in exchange for a settlement, though they continued to pursue action against Knowles ' father; as part of the agreement, both sides were prohibited from ripping each other publicly.

While recording sessions were going on, Rowland released the first Destiny's Child solo track; "Angel" appeared on the soundtrack of Chris Rock 's Down to Earth. Former members Roberson and Luckett also announced the formation of a trio called, coincidentally, Angel, and Farrah Franklin set about starting a solo career. Survivor -- whose title was reportedly inspired by a DJ's crack about Destiny's Child members voting one another off the island, much like the popular CBS reality series -- hit stores in the spring of , and entered the charts at number one.

The first two singles, "Survivor" and "Bootylicious," were predictably huge hits, with the latter becoming the group's fourth number one pop single. A cover of Andy Gibb 's "Emotion" was also successful, albeit less so, and Survivor sold well -- over four million copies -- but not as well as its predecessor. Toward the end of the year, the group released a holiday album, 8 Days of Christmas, and announced plans for a series of side projects, including solo albums from all three members to be staggered over the next year and a half, so as to avoid competition.

In early , shortly after This Is the Remix was released to tide fans over, Roberson and Luckett sued the group again, claiming that some of the lyrics in "Survivor" made reference to them in violation of the earlier lawsuit settlement. The first Destiny's Child solo album, Michelle Williams ' all-gospel project Heart to Yours, was released in April and featured a duet with gospel legend Shirley Caesar.

Despite much critical speculation, the trio reunited the following year and released Destiny Fulfilled in November The members continued solo careers. Destiny's Child have reunited. It's actually only one new song, called Nuclear and produced by Pharrell Williams and co-written by him and Michelle Williams, which will appear on the Love Songs compilation, which Amazon lists as having a 29 January release date.

The cover shows the three members who comprised Destiny's Child last time out — Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joining Knowles — to be present and correct.

Destiny's Child have been silent since their fifth album, Destiny Fulfilled, was released in November , since when Knowles has concentrated on her solo career, which has rather overshadowed those of Rowland and Williams.

While Knowles has been booked to perform at both of Barack Obama's inauguration balls, Rowland has been a judge on The X Factor and Williams has appeared in the London production of Chicago. They were also a huge concert attraction, headlining such unlikely gigs as Finsbury Park in London, normally more closely associated with boozy crowds of middle-aged men watching Madness, Bob Dylan or New Order.
