The Knowles clan - Beyoncé and her father Mathew, that is (regrettably, Harry Knowles of “Ain’t It Cool” is no relation) - were apparently aware of these two pitfalls since they pull off a nifty trick of making her debut album, Dangerously in Love, appeal to a broad audience while making it sound relatively easy.
Plus, Survivor often sounded labored, as Knowles struggled to sound real. Still, a singer takes a risk when going solo, as there’s no guarantee that her/his star will still shine as bright when there’s nobody to reflect upon. So it was a natural step for her to step into the diva spotlight with a solo album in 2003, particularly since it followed on the heels of her co-starring role in Mike Myers’ 2002 comedy hit, Austin Powers in Goldmember. Beyoncé Knowles was always presented as the star of Destiny’s Child - which probably shouldn’t be a big surprise since her father managed the group.
