Destiny's Child Destiny Fulfilled review critique
Destiny's Child regroup after solo projects but deliver a tepid album. Lose My Breath opens strong but the energy collapses into bland tracks like Soldier and Cater 2 U. The harmony remains bright yet insufficient to lift the project beyond 2.5 stars. A separate Remixes 81-04 collection offers concise, varied interpretations including Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda remix of Enjoy the Silence.
