  • In honor of women’s history month and the 20th anniversary of the fifth and final Destiny's Child album, Destiny Fulfilled, I wanted to revisit this iconic album and era from the trio (Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams) as I believe it is their most underrated and under-appreciated project. This was the first project I was really old enough to enjoy and appreciate, but for whatever reason I don’t see this album get as much love as their previous projects like Survivor or Writings on the Wall. So before we get started, don't forget to like this video and subscribe, grab your snacks, get comfortable as we a take a trip back to 2004 to relive the farewell era of Destiny's Child.
    Let me know in the comments what you think of Destiny Fulfilled.

    I feel like groups, particularly girl groups should take notes on how to bow out gracefully and how to end an era on great landing. Destiny Fulfilled is easily top 2 for me. The album is flawless from top to bottom. Destiny fulfilled really turns 20 this year lol.

    • @ashleykaira
      @ashleykaira  6 месяцев назад +44

      I think so too but I feel like what’s missing is the genuine friendship between the ladies (other girl groups), which is the key element to having a successful run and bowing out gracefully. Destiny’s Child really set the standard and were the last of a dying breed unfortunately.
      Thanks for watching girl!

      Not only that, other girl groups can take note of how to end a group and still remain Friends and outgrow the drama. The thing about kelly beyonce and michelle is that their friends first and group mates second. Not Hating on other female groups, But when they come together, it's like a business deal. With DC they come together cuz they enjoy it.

      I think the problem is a lot of girl groups today are PUT together. They don't grow together. Shoving a bunch of random ladies together and putting them to work without letting some chemistry brew is always a bad idea, personalities and ideas clash, and because there's no connection a consensus isn't peacefully met.

      My thoughts exactly.
      TWOTW is undoubtedly one of the most influential RnB/Pop records ever released but its production is so heavily tied into that late 90s/early 00s Timbaland,RodneyJerkins, Shekspere sound that it can feel more dated whereas a lot of the production on DF feels more timeless (GIRL, Free, IF, Is She The Reason etc) it's much easier to listen back and not feel like it's from 2004.

      😞💔😞After having such a personal deeply heartbreak, from a guy who turned out to be a narcissist, along with emotionally abusive.😢😔😥I truly loved, & thought “loved” me, on-top of the devastating loss after a lengthy sickness right before Christmas.💔 Of my beloved adopted mom, during a Covid Surge, completely has shattered me, still has, & is. Been a personally dark heavy season of grief, heartache, sorrow, & pain.🥀😰💔 This album, was one of those out of many I’ve listened to while ongoing through the internal pain, grief, & so forth.😥😔😥 “Free” from this album, it is a definite top favorite of mine, the lyrics, spoke to alot of pain and hurt/betrayal by adopted family members in my beloved mom’s absence who’s behavior shifted for the worse in how I was treated. Amongst others, the Ex, certain so-called friends lots, of hurt, pain, darkness.💔 Love hearing Michelle Williams (Love her period) also shine more within this album, I have her book; “Checking In” as a treat to myself to try to heal while still in the depths of my heavy grief, dark depths of deep sadness, & pain.💔 As she’s openly vulnerably, if not, courageously bared her struggles despite her successes/fame. 🥺💜🥺Nevertheless I know my feedback is pretty lengthy, and I’m bearing myself openly. Great video/mini documentary breakdown of an incredible era of Destiny’s Child. This album is timeless despite all of these fabulous women’s individual success. 💐🌸💐 It was briefly refreshing to come across as I am in, a dark heavily grief emotional state.💔😥💔 Especially as my beloved adopted mom’s birthday is nearing,😰😭😰 #GriefTrulyHurts She will, “always” be the mom I never had I tremendously miss her, honestly don’t want to still be here on this ravaging planet without her, & the biological father I too barely knew. #Parentless 💔🌏😪 Again fantastic job, Ashley Kaira. 💜

    This album has a special place in my heart 💓 It signifies the end of a beautiful era and their destiny as DC was truly fulfilled. Beyoncé became a global superstar, Kelly a Dance music Icon and Michelle a Gospel music Legend. I was 10 years old when this album came out, and now as a 30 year old woman I can relate to the lyrics having experienced heartbreak. My favourite songs are Cater 2 U, Free, T-Shirt, Through with love and Girl.

    Beehive member here, I remember this entire era like it was yesterday! They really promoted this album with appearances & performances everywhere. That "Lose My Breathe" TRL performance was lit! The marching band, the crowd, the Roberto Cavalli drip, it was everything! The "Soldier" collab with the T.I. and Wayne was a surprise and it worked. The Bet Awards really boasted the "Cater 2 U" song, because everyone was talking about it. "Girl" was cute, I enjoyed that S3x and The City theme. It was like watching a tv show. That one part on "Free" when they harmonize was nice! "Love" and "Game Over" are still on my playlist. Destiny Fulfilled is a great album and in some ways reminds me of SWVs New Beginning album. They both have the same similar theme and storytelling with predominately mid tempo songs. Good video! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

    Omg yes - thank you for bringing light to this album - it really is a masterpiece. I hadn't even been aware of the concepts and sequence of themes being so carefully planned - but that's so cool! They were so intentional and brought depth and meaning. But what always had me was the music, the melodies, the lyrics and defs the sisterhood energy. This album was on repeat when i went through my roughest breakup. It's so uplifting to women. And I can look past "cater 2 u"...it was the era and it's so fun to sing along to. And even though we might not wish to emulate the details of that song these days, I think the notion behind it that once you find a man to be safe and surrender to, it's nice and you want to pour your love.

    • @ashleykaira
      @ashleykaira  6 месяцев назад

      Yesss they were so intentional and their goal was accomplished by creating a realistic narrative of the highs and lows of a relationship. It makes sense why it resonated so much with people and that’s a testament of their artistry and sisterhood. And I love your point about Cater 2 U, it definitely makes sense.
