This is now three remaining members, Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams 6th album. Fans have had a one or two year delay of the 6th album release, however we definantly had any absence of their songs, as all three members have all achieved their own successfull solo career, more so Beyonce, with a number of top ten hits and a chart topping album (Dangeriously In Love). This reunion album has already claimed one of the best R&B album.

Since their last album " Survivor" back in 2001 (yep hasnt the time flown by!), the girls have made a comeback with the album named "Destiny fulfilled", here the album is alot more maturer and abit more reflective. The writting to the vocals have all so much improved, as the grown-up vocals and experiences are all reflected in this album.

The Tracks:

"Lose my Breath" has to be the best up-tempo track on the album, and probably be the most sucessfull single released from this album even though there not much backing music , the vocals are able to bring the song alive. Their voices blend perfectly in such a way that when the individuals sing during a verse or at other times, it is difficult to pick out just who it is. Due to each member having confidence of their own solo sucess, they have no need to prove themselves, and so are able to sing together with great maturity...all wanting the whole song to sound great not just their individual performances.

“Soldier” Is the second release from the album and feature the popular american rappers T.I. and Lil Wayne, although its ok to have a rap on the track, i do feel it was a bit unecessary. However this is a great catchy track, that slowly creeps up on you without knowing. the main catchy point of this track is the choruses, where once again we are erged to listen to the three fine voices mixing together.

“Cater 2 U” is one of my best slow tracks on the album, about wanting to take care of their men. great love song.
beyonce's voice really does shine through on this track.

"t_shirt" is my fav track on the album, its another smooth love song, but i really love how the vocals are able to stick to backing music as if the vocals are the music itself...truely great overal vocal performances. love this track! its almost like dreamy atmosphere of late night pillow talk!

Through with Love" adds a rough edge and the girl power track thats missing from the album.

"Free" has a seventies funkish vibe to it and a great hook, and is taken a few ideas from the Denise Williams' classic hit of the same name. still another great track.

"girl" is a great girlfriend song!, the song that all close girlfriends will no about, one of my personal favs. all tracks 'Is She the Reason, Girl and Bad Habit' are all very powerful songs.

Overal:

This is one of the best R&B albums this year (so far!), with every track hitting the right spot, although most tracks are love songs their still abit for eveyone in tracks like soldier and loose my breath, and girl.

BEST TRACKS: t-shirt, girl, cater to you

worst- is she the reason (hard to find one though!)

10/10
