2004년 가장 열광적으로 기대되는 앨범 중의 하나인 [Destiny Fulfilled]는 그래미 수상에 빛나는 여성 트리오 ‘데스티니스 차일드’의 2001년 1위를 기록한 히트 앨범 [Survivor(전세계 천만장 이사의 세일즈 기록)]와 높은 판매를 기록한 크리스마스 앨범 [8 Days Of Christmas] 이후로 처음 발매되는 완전한 정규 스튜디오 앨범이다.
[Destiny Fulfilled]로부터의 첫 싱글인 <Lose My Breath>는 이미 빌보드 싱글 차트 3위(10월 30일자)를 기록하고 있다.
[Destiny Fulfilled]는 데스티니스 차일드의 신곡 11곡을 통해 예로부터 유명한 보컬 하모니와 비욘세, 켈리와 미쉘의 개성 넘치는 솔로 보이스를 들려준다. 각 신곡들은 컨템퍼러리 리듬과 잊을 수 없는 ‘훅’을 전하면서, 사랑에 빠지는 짜릿한 흥분으로부터 상실의 마음 앓이를 거쳐 받아들이게 되는 성장 그리고 평온함을 찾게 되기까지, 로맨스의 격한 풍경을 가로지르는 감정적인 여정을 시간의 흐름에 맞춰 들려주고 있다.
앨범의 모든 트랙에 프로듀서 중의 한명으로 역할을 한 비욘세와 더불어 모든 그룹의 멤버가 공동으로 작업한 노래들을 담은 [Destiny Fulfilled]는 데스티니스 차일드가 이제까지 녹음했던 앨범들 중 가장 개인적인고 가장 애착이 가는 앨범이다.
[Destiny Fulfilled]의 executive producer는 비욘세 놀스, 켈리 롤랜드, 미쉘 윌리암스와 매튜 놀스이다. 비욘세는 컨셉과 보컬 편곡을 구상해 내고 스튜디오에서 지칠 줄 모르는 선봉장이 되기도 하는 등 이번 앨범의 모든 트랙에서 한명의 프로듀서로서 역할을 다했다. 멤버들의 개인적인 경험으로부터 나온 가사의 테마와 Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Rich Harrison, Andre Harris와 Vidal Davis, 9th Wonder, Bryan Michael Cox, Kendrick Dean, Rockwilder, Mario Winans, 그리고 Erron Williams을 포함 음반 업계에서 가장 잘 나가는 프로듀서들의 음악적 서포트와 함께 [Destiny Fulfilled]는 가수로서, 작곡자로서, 아티스트로서, 그리고 여자로서 데스트니스 차일드의 성장을 축복하는 그 결과물이다.
[Destiny Fulfilled]의 수록곡은 다음과 같다. <Lose My Breath>, <Soldier> (featuring T.I. & Lil Wayne), <Cater 2 U>, <T-Shirt>, <Is She The Reason>, <Girl>, <Bad Habit>, <If>, <Free>, <Through With Love>와 <Love>.
2001년 [Survivor](그래미 최우수 R&B 듀오 및 그룹 부문을 수상케 한)와 [8 Days of Christmas]의 활동과 녹음을 끝마치고, 비욘세, 켈리 그리고 미쉘은 엄청나게 성공적인 솔로 프로젝트를 통해서 개인적인 정체성을 탐험하는 시간을 각기 가졌었다.
2002년 7월, 미쉘은 [Heart To Yours]를 발매하며 데스티니스 차일드 중 처음으로 솔로 프로젝트를 시작한 멤버가 되었다. [Heart To Yours]는 컨템퍼러리 가스펠 앨범으로 빌보드 앨범 차트 57위에 데뷔했으며 빌보드 가스펠 앨범 차트에서는 1위를 기록하는 기염을 토했다. 미쉘의 2번째 가스펠 앨범 [Do You Know]는 2004년 1월 발매되자마자 곧 빌보드 크리스천 앨범 차트에서 2위를, 가스펠 앨범 차트에서는 3위를 기록했다. 2003년 11월 토니 브랙스톤 대신 브로드웨이 ‘아이다’의 여주인공으로 열연한 미쉘은 열광적인 공연 리뷰를 받기도 했다.
2002년 10월 발매된 켈리 롤랜드의 솔로 데뷔 앨범 [Simply Deep]은 영국 차트 및 다른 여러 나라의 앨범 차트 1위를 기록하는 동시에 빌보드 R&B/Hip-Hop 앨범 차트 3위를 기록하며 전세계적인 스매시 히트를 기록했다. [Simply Deep]은 빌보드 싱글차트 1위를 기록한 스매시 히트곡이자 힙합 수퍼 스타 넬리와의 듀엣으로 켈리에게 그래미 수상(최우수 랩/노래 협연 부문)을 안긴 <Dilemma>를 수록했다.
비욘세의 배우로서의 갑작스러운 경력이 시작된 것은 2001년 MTV 필름 “Carmen: A Hip Hopera”의 여주인공을 맡으면서 였다. 그녀는 마이크 마이어스 주연의 2002년 작 “오스틴 파워 골드 멤버”에서 ‘Foxxy Cleopatra” 역으로 분해 멋진 코믹 연기를 보여주었다. 그녀는 또한 2003년 작 “파이팅 템테이션스”에서 쿠바 구딩 주니어의 상대역으로 열연했다. 그녀의 최신 영화는 “핑크 펜더”의 속편으로 스티브 마틴이 “탐정 Clouseau”로 비욘세가 “Xania”로 주연을 맡고 있다.
비욘세는 빌보드 앨범 차트 1위를 기록한 멀티 플래티넘 데뷔 솔로 앨범 [Dangerously In Love]의 서포트를 위해서 처음으로 미국 투어를 갖기도 했다. 솔로 앨범으로 2004년 그래미 5개 부문을 석권했는데, 최우수 컨템퍼러리 R&B 앨범과 Jay-Z가 피쳐링한 스매시 히트곡 <Crazy In Love>로 최우수 R&B 노래 부문을 포함하고 있다. 비욘세의 그래미 5개 부문 수상은 여성 아티스트로서 한해에 가장 많은 그래미를 수상한 1999년의 ‘로린 힐’, 2001년의 ‘알리시아 키스’ 그리고 2002년 ‘노라 존스’와 타이를 이루는 기록이다.
데스티니스 차일드의 원년 멤버이며, 그룹의 대다수의 히트곡의 공동 작곡자이자 공동 프로듀서로서 비욘세는 팝 음악 씬에서 가장 폭 넓게 인식되고 높은 평가를 받고 있는 여성 중의 한명이 되었다. 2001년 비욘세가 ASCAP 올해의 팝 작곡자 부문을 수상했을 때, 비욘세는 그 영광을 수상한 첫 번째 아프리칸-아메리칸 여성이자 여성으로서는 역사상 두 번째 수상자가 되었다.
데스티니스 차일드는 전세계적으로 4천만장 이상의 앨범 세일즈를 기록하고 있으며, 비욘세, 켈리와 미쉘의 솔로 앨범들까지 합치면 전체 세일즈는 놀랍게도 5천만장을 넘는다. 데스티니스 차일드의 멤버로서, 따로 혹은 같이, 그룹으로서 처음 데뷔한 1997년 11월 이래로 경이적인 31개의 RIAA의 골드, 플래티넘 및 멀티 플래티넘 인증서를 받았다.
비욘세, 켈리 그리고 미쉘은 각각 자신의 솔로로서의 짧은 외유에서 배운 교훈들을 여태껏 가장 단결되고 파워풀한 데스티니스 차일드 앨범을 창조하기 위해 아낌없이 쏟아 넣었다. [Destiny Fulfilled]로, 그녀들은 컨템퍼러리 팝과 R&B 뮤직의 세계로 새로운 열정을 불어 넣겠다는 초기 앨범에서 보여주었던 약속을 이어가고 있다. .... ....

Take a minute girl come sit down And tell us what's been happening In your face I can see the pain Don't you try to convince us that you're happy We've seen this all before But he's taking advantage of your passion Because we've come too far For you to feel alone You don't let him walk all over your heart I'm telling you
[Chorus] Girl, I can tell you been crying And you needing someone to talk to Girl, I can tell he's been lying And pretending that he's faithful and he loves you Girl, you don't have to be hiding Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls Don't you know that we love you
See what y'all don't know about him Is I can't let him go because he needs me It ain't really him its stress from the job And I ain't making it easy I know you see him bugging on me sometimes But I know he be tired he don't mean it It gets hard sometimes But I need my man I don't think ya'll understand I'm telling you
[Chorus]
Girl, take a good look at yourself He got you going through hell We ain't never seen you down like this What you mean you don't need us to help We known each other too well
Girl, I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls Don't you know that we love you
[Kelly] How many times Are you gonna apologize about the same thing And how many times can I take you back When I'm not the one that's doin' wrong (When I'm not the one that's doin' wrong, yeah) I thought maybe if I started prayin' That we would get better, but When I would pray the answer would always come back to me bein' done But we are so hard headed when we're in love So I
[Chorus] I told myself that I would make some changes But the more I change there's one thing that remains the same I can't seem to shake ya You seem to really have a hold on me And everytime that we break up We turn around and make up This can't go on now I gotta move on now It's not the fact that I don't love you no more But I gotta break this bad habit Can't take his bad habit no more
[Kelly] I'm totally out of my element Learnin' new ways to live, while your in a comfort zone Not even thinkin, (you couldn't think about me) to call And then when I get mad you buy me gifts Thinkin' it's gonna solve every issue From the girl callin my phone, to the pictures that I saw And every time you would break up with me for nothing at all I've takin all I could take (I've takin all I could take) But the way I live has gotta change, oh
[Chorus]
[Bridge Kelly] Let me break it down Have you ever loved somebody So much that you was just to blind to see Past, all of the pain they was causin' you Ladies do you feel me (do you feel me) Have you ever loved somebody So much that you went against the right things that you should do Then it's time to make a change So I

Ain't no feeling like being free When your mind's made up And your hearts in the right place, yeah Ain't no feeling like being free When you've done all you could But what's misunderstood (It's all good, it's all good) Ain't no feeling like being free I'm like an eagle set free And finally I'm looking out for me Ain't no feeling like being free Cause my minds made up And my heart is in the right place, yeah
Beyonce: I gave my heart to you I gave up my friends like you said I should do Put aside my smile for you threw out my dreams if you said you didn't approve I gave my mind, compromise my life just to see I'd find you were trying hold me back slowly throwing me off of my track disappointed again

{Chorus 1}
Kelly: I shared all my secrets with you Even when it hurt telling the truth I Paralyze my growth for you I gave you control felt so helpless without you Couldn't be a friend To anyone happy Cause with you I see misery loves company no no, if this is love Cause if it's love I don't want it anymore I'm through with it
{Chorus 1}
