Survivor (International Edition)

The third album from Destiny’s Child is a group effort through and through, full of R&B-leaning dance music supercharged by the trio’s stellar harmonizing. They strut on the slinky "Independent Women"; they’re defiant on the anthemic "Survivor," with its dramatic string flourishes; and they amp up the energy on the sassy club track "Bootylicious." Beyoncé co-wrote every song, save a shimmering cover of the Bee Gees’ “Emotion,” and the group confidently belts out sacred (“Gospel Medley”) and profane (“Sexy Daddy”) soul with equal passion and poise.
