A five string quartet or quintet? Quintet, and you're walking in chic and I'm walking in sharp and the lights are down And like you said, the candles are there and it's setting the scene and you're hearing these amazing songs But you're also hearing the backstories of how these songs came about You know, some of them came about when there was triumph And some of the songs came about when there was chaos and some trying times for each one of the ladies So I get to share that with the audience I love that aspect about this, how you are just going to include the storytelling aspect behind some of the biggest hits You'd be surprised What would you say is the greatest legacy of Destiny's Child? I think the greatest legacy will be their give back to women And making independent women, that song will be like the benchmark of their legacy Resilience, power, I think that will be their legacy And let me tell you, listening to those songs myself growing up, that's exactly what I felt You feel like it's just an anthem of sorts, so many of those hits As the brand architect behind Destiny's Child, one of the greatest groups of all time I'm curious to know when it comes to building your brand Especially we're in a time now where the creator economy is all about that Now there's TikTok, there's Instagram, there's streaming If you had to rebuild their brand today, what would you do differently and what would you keep the same? In terms of their creativity and their talent, it's there And it always was there And also their passion for this and their love for their fan base We would go about the marketing different, as you just said It's a different day, radio is not what it was years ago But we would keep some of those elements, but the digital world is different And you can't do this without social media So that part of the equation would be new But having hit songs, they can be 20, 30, 40 years old And we remember where we were, we remember what we were doing when we hear those songs Absolutely, Survivor for one, I got a whole crowd on their feet on vacation in Cancun Growing up doing karaoke, singing Survivor There's just so many memories and just moments in our life's chapter And that's what it's about, memories, moments, and singing your heart out It's just beautiful to hear the ladies and men just sing these songs and reimagine where they were I'm proud of what we created and I hope everyone will come out on Sunday Go to destinieschild.com and reserve your seats now Alright, I love it, I wish we had more time, Mr. Knowles But this just means you have to come back to talk to us I will come back, thank you for the time You're so welcome Alright, Steve, I'm going to send things over to you
