1998年初以首支单曲“No, No, No”便成功打进Billboard单曲排行榜Top 10(#3名),并迅速创下破百万张的白金销售纪录的四人女子团体Destiny's Child,其组成团员分别是LaTavia,Beyonce, Kelly及LeToya,且当时她们的平均年龄才仅仅是16岁。Destiny's Child 的首张同名专辑,在单曲“No, No, No”的推波助澜下,销售亦一路长红地衝破50万张的金唱片纪录大关,不仅为她们奠定了稳固的市场基础,更为其家乡德州打破了长久以来只有乡村乐盛行的窠臼形象,而开启了新的音乐方向。 此辑是Destiny's Child继在乐坛一举成名之同名专辑后的首张 全新作品。如今平均年龄已届18岁的团员们,除了藉由作品来呈现她们在心智上的成长,将写作范畴从唯一的爱情关係扩展到各种人际关係上,探讨人生的各种真实面与灰色地带外,更邀来多位先前未曾合作过的当红超级制作人,企图创造出更新的乐风与声音来。但此同时,她们亦仍保留了原来简单、朗朗上口且带有押韵意味的词句特色。首支强势单曲“Bills, Bills, Bills”以及另外两首快版的歌曲“So Good”“Bug A Boo”,便邀来乐坛当红炸子鸡Kevin She'kspere" Briggs(TLC的多週冠军单曲“No Scrubs”的幕后创作功臣)来合写及制作,并已迅速登上Billboard单曲榜亚军宝座。此外,专辑中还收录有Rodney Jerkins制作的“Say My Name”,Daryl Simmons制作、优美哀愁的“Stay”,当红男声团体Next跨刀献声合作的“If You Leave”,以及另一当红团体Tony Toni Ton的Dwayne Wiggins 捉刀制作的“Temptation”,展现团员更臻成熟嗓音、建立新R&B经典情歌典范的“Now That She's Gone”…等,势必再为Destiny's Child 再创乐坛新高峰!! With their second album, Writing's on the Wall, Destiny's Child still suffers from slightly uneven songwriting, but it's nevertheless an assured step forward for the girl group. Not only are they maturing as vocalists, they are fortunate to work with such skilled, talented producers as Kevin "Shekspere" Biggs,Rodney Jerkins,Dwayne Wiggins,Chad Elliot,Daryl Simmons, and Missy Elliott, who all give the quartet rich, varied music upon which to work their charm. So, even when the album fails to deliver memorable songs, it always sounds alluring, thanks to the perfect combination of vocalists and producers.
