Former Destiny's Child and father of one of the biggest female singers around right now Matthew Knowles, has decided to put together a girl group who he thinks are going to be the biggest thing since DC3.
Monique, Seyi, Daisy, Chelsey and Ashley form the group From Above. Already opened up for Beyonce in the US, these girls have everything a band needs. 4 of the girls are from the UK and the other US, Matthew already has a reality show of the girls in training being released next year on MTV and VH1.
Are they going to bring something different to the table? What do they have that other girl groups don't? Lets be honest, as much as we like to think that having Mr Knowles as a manager may have its perks, there's also a downfall to it too. He has all the experience on managing a girl group, after all DC were HUGE but the downside may be that he might just try get F.A.B to be another DC and we also need to remember that Beyonce dropped him as her manager and so did Tiffany Evans and his youngest daughter Solange Knowles.
Everyone and every project is different, so why not give these girls a chance? From Above have just put out their first official song titled 'Not The Same Girl' and to be very honest, I love it. It is very American so I think it has a better chance in the US then it does on the UK simply because its too Pop and not 'Urban' enough for our mainstream charts.
Have a listen to 'Not The Same Girl' and let me know what your thoughts are.
