It starts off well...Well considering how these comebacks singles go.
But I have one BURNING question...on to that later.
You don't have to like the songs but there's an infectiousness to some of those songs. 'Say My Name', 'Bills Bills Bills', 'Survivor', 'Independent Women' were coast to coast smashes that broadened the trio's (quartet/trio) appeal beyond any simple girl power gimmickry.
In all seriousness, I'm getting this Miami new wave vibe that can't be denied. The first 30 seconds start of intriguingly enough with the string synth playing seductively with a syncopated, almost new jack swing drum pattern.
The Massive Attack/Portishead mood can't go unnoticed. Triphop B? They even gave Michelle the bridge!
Kelly and Beyonce come in. Am I listening to Brandy and Monica revisited? The best of Destiny's Child to me always tended to be the ferocious attitude and spirit. It peaked with Beyonce's Glastonbury performance.
There's a mood here that some will enjoy, even though its antagonistic to all that the group did well previously. But here everything seems so laid back its as if they are ashamed of what they achieved at the turn of the millennium.
Maybe it comes down to the one burning question...
WHERE is the chorus ladies??
