Beyonce's dad Matthew Knowles releases album of never-before-heard Destiny's Child material - Daily Mail

Posted: 03 Dec 2019 01:28 PM PST

Beyonce's dad Matthew Knowles has opened up the vaults to share previously unreleased music from Destiny's Child recorded back when they used to go by the name of Girls Tyme.

The album, Destiny's Child: The Untold Story, came out on multiple streaming platforms via Knowles' Music World Entertainment label on Monday.

The material comes from when the group consisted of Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Robertson during the early 90s.

After the release of their first two albums, the band evolved into a trio comprised of Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle Williams.

Knowles also released an accompanying book of the same title.

Matthew first announced the album back on November 21, but many took it with a grain of salt.

This isn't the only DC related project Knowles has been working on.

Back in spring, he revealed he was producing a musical based on the girl group.

Survivor: The Destiny's Child Musical's will debut in the star's hometown Houston, Texas sometime in 2020, according to an April report from TMZ

Knowles said the musical is going to be an unvarnished look at the pop group's journey to the top.

The production will be from his own perspective, also documenting his involvement in the music industry. Songs will be pulled from the Destiny's Child catalog.

'I want to pull back the curtain,' said Knowles.

'I feel it's time to give the world an opportunity to hear, see and feel the victories and failures that I've had as a husband, father and manager who risked everything in pursuit of fulfilling dreams – those of mine and others.'

The former talent manager is collaborating with director Je'Caryous Johnson on the show.

'I am ecstatic to be working with Mr. Knowles on the development of [the musical]' said Johnson.

'It is a unique and inspiring story that will fearlessly tackle hard truths, while bringing both vindication and healing to all who lived it. It's fair, it's real and it's an absolute honor to know that Mr. Knowles trusts me to pen and produce such an iconic piece of American history.'

No word on if Beyonce has given the project the green light.

The Lemonade songstress and her father have had a rocky relationship.

Mathew's habitual infidelity lead the singer's mom, fashion designer Tina Knowles (now Lawson), to divorce him in 2011, straining his relationship with his daughters.

After years of professional ups and downs, Beyoncé announced that she was officially severing professional ties to her father in 2011.

And while her hit Lemonade is largely said to be inspired by husband Jay-Z's cheating, insiders also revealed that parts were inspired by her father's relationship with mother Tina.

The 38-year-old pop icon showed off her knockout legs in an olive green mini-dress that featured a snappy collar and a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals.

The mother-daughter duo also posed up for a storm with Queen & Slim director Melina Matsoukas, who has worked with both of Tina's children.

Melina directed the music videos for several Beyonce songs including Formation, as well as for Solange's numbers I Decided and Losing You. 

Beyonce, Solange and Tina got together for a snapshot with Angela Beyince and Kelly Rowland outside a party thrown by Melina.

While Kelly rose to fame with Beyonce and Michelle Williams in the girl group Destiny's Child, Angela is Beyonce's cousin and songwriting collaborator.

Tina shares her daughters with her ex-husband Mathew Knowles and has been married to Poltergeist actor Richard Lawson since 2015.

Although Destiny's Child split up in 2006, they are still friendly, and Kelly attended the world premiere of Beyonce's film The Lion King in July.

Beyonce Knowles attended a screening last night with her mother, sister and Kelly Rowland, so it was a real reunion and we only wish we could have been there as a fly on the wall...

And as ever Queen B looked killer, rocking a khaki mini dress and high heels. The dress is actually a top from the Balmain Resort 2020 collection, and we love that she just did her own thing and wore it as a mini instead.

The ruched mid-section really nips her in at the waist, creating that hourglass silhouette we all crave, but combined with the military style and utility shade of khaki, it's got plenty of edge and attitude too.

Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles, who managed Destiny's Child and nurtured their rise to stardom, is now developing a musical about the girl group.

'The main character is me, because I'm telling my perspective. It starts when the girls were very young on Star Search, up till about 2010,' Mathew told Paper in April.

'That's what we're doing more - telling my story. At 67, if I don't tell my story, someone will tell his story and it would be inaccurate.'

  • Previously, the former dad-ager announced on his official Instagram account that he would be going deep in the vault to release an album full of previously never-before-heard records from Destiny's Child dating back to their nascent days as Girls Tyme in December.

  • Before updating their now famously known group name, the iconic R&B girl group was comprised of BeyoncéKelly RowlandLeToya Luckett and LaTavia Robertson under the former moniker. The group took on several competition stages and performances prior to their eventual evolution into the world-famous trio comprised of Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle Williams

  • Mathew gave an update on the status of the album a few weeks later on his Music World Entertainment Instagram account. "[A] Destiny's Child: The Untold Story book and album will be available everywhere December 2!" the music executive teased. He also shared a preview of the cover for the forthcoming album and book alongside the announcement: a blacked-out silhouette of the three ladies striking their iconic Charlie's Angels-inspired pose.

  • True to his word, a 15-track album titled Destiny's Child: The Untold Story of songs recorded by the quartet (before the name and lineup change) was released on Monday (Dec. 2) via multiple streaming platforms. In addition to the album, Mathew also released a companion book of the same title.

  • It might not be the DC reunion fans were expecting, but they're certainly in luck for the surprise release, especially in light of Kelly's recent admission where she seemingly shot down reports of a rumored Destiny's Child reunion world tour.

  • ‘99 Problems but My ABCs Ain’t One’: Jay-Z Sues Over Children’s Book - The New York Times

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 12:57 AM PST

    SYDNEY, Australia — When the children's alphabet book "A B to Jay-Z" was released by a small Australian online retailer more than two years ago, the company said it sold out within days. But it also drew criticism on social media as a particularly cringe-worthy example of cultural appropriation.

    The book, the creation of a company calling itself the Little Homie, featured likenesses of hip-hop artists in the hope of inspiring, as the retailer put it, "the next generation of hood rats." And it borrowed from famous lyrics, including one of Jay-Z's: "If you're having alphabet problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my ABCs ain't one."

    The Little Homie says this was all in celebration of hip-hop. Jay-Z, who has spoken out about black identity and equality, says it was theft.

    Jay-Z has now sued the company, alleging trademark and copyright infringement. The use of his name, likeness and references to "99 problems" in the book and other Little Homie products is "a deliberate and knowing attempt to trade off the reputation and good will" of the rapper, and uses his intellectual property "for their own commercial gain," according to his complaint.

    Since 2017, the artist's lawyers have sent several cease-and-desist letters to the Little Homie, according to the complaint. It also alleges that the company had made a "false and misleading representation" that Jay-Z had approved and was affiliated with the book.

    The Little Homie said on Thursday it had done nothing wrong and intended to fight the case. "We are unbelievably disappointed to find ourselves caught in a legal battle with someone whose music we love and adore," Jessica Chiha, the company's owner, said in a statement.

    The book and others she has produced have included other hip-hop artists who have not raised objections, she added. Having "someone like Jay-Z file legal proceedings is daunting beyond belief and hugely dispiriting," Ms. Chiha said. The artist is the first hip-hop billionaire, according to Forbes.

    A lawyer for Jay-Z, Jordan W. Siev, declined to comment because the litigation is pending.

    "A B to Jay-Z" is one of dozens of hip-hop-themed products offered by the Little Homie. Other titles include "First 50 Words With 50 Cent" and "1 2 3 With the Notorious B.I.G." "A B to Jay-Z" is the result of a successful crowdfunding effort that raised more than 8,500 Australian dollars, or about $5,700, according to a Kickstarter page.

    Ms. Chiha, at least in her online persona, seems to have fervently adopted African-American culture. She refers to herself as "J-Pain" and has called her child a "ghetto little superstar" and her husband, Danny, a "baby daddy."

    While Australia is heavily influenced by American culture, there is less mainstream awareness of issues like cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes.

    Some of those who have criticized Ms. Chiha and her company have pointed to photographs, apparently from her husband's Facebook account, that showed people in blackface at a party.

    An online petition against Ms. Chiha's books mentioned the blackface photos and her "J-Pain" nickname, and asked supporters to alert the artists' legal teams that their likenesses were being used. "At the very least, they should be paying these artist royalties," it said.

    Ms. Chiha did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the claims of cultural appropriation.

    "A B to Jay-Z" remains for sale on the Little Homie website for 17.48 Australian dollars, or about $11.80. It is also available on Amazon.
