Destiny Web - Press Release - Teletext Club 140 (July '98)

"Go Wild with Destiny's Child!"

The Spice Girls, All Saints and B*witched get all the attention but music biz pundits reckon American divas Destiny's Child will outgun them all.

The Texan belles - Le Toya, La Tavia, Kelly and Beyonce have a new single 'With Me' which we know is gonna be topping the charts once this World Cup nonsense is done and dusted.

Texan all-girl band Destiny's Child are surely destined to have a huge hit with their unspeakable fab 'n' groovy latest toon 'With Me' and its only the start

"We want to stay in the Entertainment business forever!" they gush. "We want to produce both our own and other peoples albums, and we want to act". But wait; theres more! "Hopefully one day we'll get to have our own record company!"

Destiny's Child are enjoying their success in the UK charts - because it gives Kelly, Le Toya, La Tavia and Beyonce a chance to check out UK guys

"England is very different from the US" they say wide-eyed "But we've seen some fine men here who look good."

"The food is a little bland but we can get used to that. Everything is great and we're very proud to get into the UK chars"

They may look like raunchy saucepots but Destiny's Child say at heart they are just a homely group of girls next door. We don't go to clubs unless we are performing. Sometimes we party but I'm not a party type at all" - says Beyonce. "We're very home-based and humble, we love spicy food and we like to go home and sleep in our own beds and spend time with our families".

Texan pop-soul starlets Destiny's Child used to listen to heroines like Chaka Khan, En Vogue and Patti Labelle, and dream of being famous now they cant believe they're called soul divas.

"We like divas because they're always make their point. They're professional and diverse they know what they want"

But were diverse. We listen to all kinds of music - gangsta rap, street hardcore, R&B, alternative.

How to you mend a broken heart?
Destiny's Child have had their share of shattered love lives and all four have had their own way of overcoming pain. "My last two boyfriends broke my heart but, Toni Braxtons Secrets album helped me re cover", said Le Toya.

All my relationships have ended in tears - I pray for something better" says Kelly. Beyonce also prays, while La Tavia says "Time is the best healer".

Destiny's Child are thrilled that their brand spanking new single "With Me" has been remixed by none other than king fugee himself. Wyclef.

We're both signed to Columbia and we bumped into him at the Sony offices in New York says the girls, we sang for him and he let us sing on his Staying Alive remix.

We've all dreamed of success and now its happening we're so proud!.
