Missy Elliott has reflected on writing in “storyteller form” for the Destiny’s Child song “Confessions.”
The hip-hop icon took to Twitter to reminisce about the process of creating the track, which was included on the girl group’s 1999 album The Writing’s on the Wall.
At the time, Destiny’s Child was comprised of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett.
“I was just listening to my earlier writing/producing style & I realized I used to paint a picture when writing for the R&B listener I wrote in story teller form This Destiny Child song was a good example (sic),” she wrote.
