NEW YORK — Music World Entertainment/Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings will release Destiny’s Child – Love Songs, a new career-spanning collection of the most sensual and romantic recordings from the best-selling vocal group, on Tuesday, January 29, 2013.

 

Comprised mainly of romantic gems recorded between 1997 and 2004, Love Songs features “Nuclear,” the first new Destiny’s Child recording since 2004. Produced by Pharrell Williams (who co-wrote the track with DC’s Michelle Williams, James Fauntleroy and Lonny Bereal), “Nuclear” features vocal production by Beyonce and Lonny Bereal.

 

The romantically themed Love Songs is the second Destiny’s Child compilation to be released through Legacy Recordings.  The first, Playlist – The Very Best of Destiny’s Child, is the most successful in the label’s popular “Playlist” series.  Released in October 2012, celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the group’s #1 debut single from 1997, the 14-track career-spanning “playlist” includes all five of the group’s Billboard #1 pop and #1 R&B hits.  As noted in Billboard.biz (November 30, 2012), “The highest ranking ‘Playlist’ album is Destiny’s Child’s Playlist: The Very Best of Destiny’s Child….”

 

Generally known for their dance floor pop and R&B anthems, Destiny’s Child demonstrate their equally compelling command of contemporary torch songs and ballads throughout Love Songs.

 

In addition to the new track, “Nuclear,” Love Songs balances romantic, passionate and sensual selections from 1998’sDestiny’s Child (“Killing Time,” “Second Nature”); 1999’s The Writing’s On The Wall (“Now That She’s Gone,” “If You Leave” featuring Next, “Temptation”); 2001’s Survivor (“Brown Eyes,” “Emotion”) and 2004’s Destiny Fulfilled (“Cater 2 U,” “If,” “T-Shirt,” “Love”).  Added treats for fans include the Timbaland remix of “Say My Name” (originally released on 2002’s This Is The Remix) and Kelly Rowland ‘s “Heaven” (a key track from Simply Deep, her 2002 solo album).
