Mathew Knowles Talks New Destiny’s Child Album & Tour

“Industry titan” Mathew Knowles, best known as Beyoncé’s dad, is still working his magic in the music industry, although his superstar daughter cut business ties with him. He’s even managing another girl group, From Above, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Destiny’s Child.

In an interview with Huffington Post, he revealed that he is releasing two Destiny’s Child catalog albums in November and hopes to gather the girls for a world tour.

This year also marks the 20th anniversary of Music World. What are your plans to ensure that you’ll be successful for years to come?

We still have our joint venture with Sony and in November we’re putting out two Destiny’s Child catalog records with new material. So we’re going to start doing strategic things like that.

New material meaning previously unreleased tracks?

It’s all released material with some previously unreleased material.

Will there be a Destiny’s Child reunion tour to complement the two projects?

Not on the first release. It takes a year of planning to do these tours, but first it starts with the artist wanting to do it. And I think the ladies are still working happily in their solo careers. And I hope in the next five years that there is a reunion tour. I think it would be incredible. The hardest thing would be choosing which songs they’re going to do, because we would want to mix it up with solo hits and Destiny’s Child hits. We would have to throw away some number ones from off the set list [Laughs].

Before you get excited, notice he said: “first it starts with the artist wanting to do it.” Will Beyoncé and co. want to do it?
