Before there was Beyoncé, singular, there was The Writing’s on the Wall, Destiny’s Child’s big break, which swaps the stately soul of their debut for futuristic beats and take-no-prisoners attitude. The slinky “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Bug a Boo” boldly shake off deadweight dudes, while “So Good” celebrates moving onwards and upwards with dizzying vocal runs. And for all the envelope-pushing producers involved—Rodney Jerkins, Missy Elliott, She’kspere—the reins are firmly in the hands of Beyoncé and company on this self-respect manifesto: just hear their triumphant vocal interplay on "Say My Name."
