Beyoncé’s Father, Mathew Knowles, Wants ‘One Last Album’ From Destiny Child

Beyoncé’s father Mathew Knowles wants Destiny Child to come back together for one final album. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he expressed his wishes but ultimately says the decision is in Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams’ hands.

“It’s a decision that the ladies would have to make,” he said. “And I would certainly, certainly support that decision as I still manage Destiny’s Child. I would love to see that as well.”

He continued: “I think the fans will be just overjoyed, overwhelmed. And hopefully, they do one last time in their career. Hopefully, they give us one last album. Who knows? You never know. You never say it can’t happen. Because this is entertainment. A lot of things can happen.”

Knowles believes that fans would be ecstatic for a group comeback after their last album released was almost over 20 years ago.

Destiny Child was one of the most successful groups in the ’90s/early ’00s. The trio became the most-certified girl group of all time in 2020. Knowles never doubted the success of the group.

“If you don’t believe, who else is gonna believe? So it starts with you have to believe and you have to have the strategy,” he tells ET. “You have to have the talent. You have to have all the work ethics, being a visionary, all those things. There’s a lot of moving parts that bring success. The right record label, the right distribution, the right partners that we had like L’Oréal and Samsung. All those things is what brought about the success along with great songs.”

The members broke out into solo careers, which Knowles said was the plan all along.

“We strategized five years out in the beginning of these ladies’ career, where they will be, which is why they did their solo projects,” he adds. “Doing Destiny’s Child, that was not happenstance or luck, that was strategy that each one of them will build their own unique following. And their own unique base, come back together, Destiny’s Child, go back out as solo artists. That was all strategy.”

Destiny’s Child’s last album Destiny Fulfilled was released in 2004, which had hits such as “Survivor,” “Solider,” Cater 2 U,” “Independent Women,” and “Lose My Breath.”

Beyoncé's Most Striking Lyrics From 'Renaissance'

• 1. "I'm That Girl"

  Beyoncé sets the tone for Renaissance with “I’m That Girl.” On the opening track Beyoncé sings, “I pull up in these clothes, look so good/’Cause I’m in that, hoe/You know all these songs sound good/’Cause I’m on that, hoe.” The icon lets her fans know that she has been and forever will be “that girl.”

• 2. "Cozy"

  “Cozy” is all about being comfortable and confident in all that you are and Beyoncé did just that with the lyrics, “She’s a god, she’s a hero/ She survived all she been through/ Confident, damn, she lethal/Might I suggest you don’t f— with my sis/’Cause she comfortable.”

• 3. "Alien Superstar"

  “Alien Superstar” was an easy standout favorite and so is one of the most notable lines of the album: “Category, bad bitch I’m the bar.”

• 4. "Cuff It"

  That “Cuff It” to “Energy” transition lives rent-free in our heads but so does the line, “You Mister Nasty, I’ll clean it up” as Beyoncé channels her “Partition” alter ego on this track.

• 5. "Energy"

  Beyoncé did not hold back with the line “‘Cause them Karens just turned into terrorists.” Enough said.

• 6. "Break My Soul"

  When Beyoncé dropped “Break My Soul,” the disco-pop hit went down as the unofficial song of the summer. The line “Ain’t takin’ no flicks but the whole clique snapped” is reminiscent of summer and a very accurate depiction of an unforgettable girls night out.

• 7. "Plastic Off The Sofa"

  “Plastic Off The Sofa” is a beautiful love song but the giggle after Bey delivers the line, “I think you’re so cool (even though I’m cooler than you)” shows off a piece of her personality that is not always seen.

• 8. "Church Girl"

  On “Church Girl,” Beyoncé brought back an old school saying with the line,”She gon’ shake that a– and them pretty tig ol’ bitties.”

• 9. "Virgo's Groove"

  You already know how Beyoncé loves a water sport reference (i.e. Drunk in Love’s “surfboart” line) and in “Virgo’s Groove” she does just that with the line,”Cuddled up on the couch/Motorboat, baby, spin around/Slow-mo coming out my blouse.”

• 10. "Move"

  Beyoncé is never shy talking about her spirituality so it comes to know surprise that the Moses’ Red Sea reference found its way on Renaissance with the line, “When the queen come through, part like the Red Sea/ Move out the way”

• 11. "Heated"

  On the track, co-wrritten by Drake, Beyoncé shouts out her late Uncle Johnny who she dedicated Renaissance to. Her uncle with the help of her mother Tina Knowles, made several outfits for Destiny’s Child.

  The line: “Uncle Johnny made my dress/ That cheap Spandex, she looks a mess”

• 12. Thique

  On “Thique,” Beyoncé celebrates her curves with the line “That’s that thique, that’s that real s—.”

• 13. "All Up In Your Mind"

  In “All Up In Your Mind,” Beyoncé poses the question, “Is my love a crime ’cause I wanna make you mine?”

• 14. "America Has A Problem"

  “America Has A Problem” and its that we can’t stop listening to this album. This track is the most rap-heavy of all the songs on Renaissance and Beyoncé proves she has bars. “Your ex-dealer dope, but ain’t crack enough” is one of the hottest bars on the record.

• 15. "Pure/Honey"

  We all felt it when Beyoncé sang, “Bad bitches to the left, money bitches to the right” on “Pure/Honey” as we try to run to both sides in the club.

• 16. "Summer Renaissance"

  You know once you get to “Summer Renaissance” that you’re at the end. But, before Beyoncé leaves, she shouts out the black-owned fashion house Telfar because you know Bey is always on trend.

  The line: “This Telfar bag imported, Birkins, them s—- in storage.”
