Last week we introduced Mathew Knowles’ new group, From Above, as part of our Burning Up feature and now the girls have issued their first music video. ‘Not the Same Girl’ will appear on the quintet’s ‘Breaking From Above’ debut album, which will arrive in UK stores on December 12th.
Watch the visual for ‘Not the Same Girl’ below:
So not only did From Above imitate Beyonce’s vocal stylings during the ‘Not the Same Girl’ but they copied her ‘Single Ladies’ hand dance as well? Perhaps they were simply paying homage to one of their favourite acts but that is not a good sign for the direction of their careers as Mathew is obviously trying to recreate the spark of his daughter and Destiny’s Child.
Hopefully, From Above will eventually find their own sound and establish themselves as viable acts. If not then they will be doomed like most of Music World’s artists.
What is Mathew doing? This is whack!
i like it and Mathew did an excellent job with Destiny’s Child and Beyonce whether we want to admit it or not.
Mathew did such an excellent job with Destiny’s Child and Beyonce, there’s no doubt about that. But the problem is that that magic only happens once or twice, not three or four times. From Above is already being compared to DC3 because of their manager so they really need to step out of that shadow and find their own sound and look. I hope they find it soon.
sorry try again
fantastic have bought the single cant wait for the album soooo hot xxxx
They sound pretty good, but they need stronger material….I can hear this on the radio though
it’s funny, i just saw their reality tv this morning for the 1st time and now their 1st video. the song is ok, it’s a nice pop track, fun to sing. I played it 3 times in a row. Ironically, they ARE the same girl, as much as we can see here : there’s nothing new/different. I hope they bring beautiful songs soon, mixing their voices and not only stuff like that
Matthew should have change thing up a little bit. It sound
like across- between dance and pop music. They need
to develop their own identify because there will never
be another DC again.
lmao
I need to see them live. I like their styling better than Little Mix. One girl reminds me of Keri.
They’re trying TOO much, let it fuckin be
