When Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams get together and make a song there's usually a buzz and excitement in the air (see: the 2013 Super Bowl). But they just did it again, to very little fanfare.
The former members of Destiny's Child reunited for a single called "Say Yes", which will appear on Williams's solo LP, Journey to Freedom, due out this September. And this time, Beyoncé isn't in the center of every shot. WIlliams is:
The video's 1.4 million views have already surpassed Williams's most popular previous song, "We Break the Dawn." But true to #poormichelle form, the spotlight that the least-heralded (but absolutely crucial) member of Destiny's Child enjoyed was short-lived. The day after the video was released this week, HBO announced that it would be airing Beyoncé: X10, a ten-episode series of her Mrs. Carter tour.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
