Destiny's Child are releasing new material.

The 'Say My Name' hitmakers have recorded their first brand new song in eight years, 'Nuclear'.

The hotly-anticipated track will feature on their upcoming best-of album 'Love Songs'.

Beyonce Knowles broke the news on her official website Beyonce.com, posting the album cover along with the caption: "I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!"

The album's track list boasts some of the girl band's most sensual and romantic ballads recorded between 1997 and 2004. The 'Survivor' chart-toppers - also comprised of Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams - originally disbanded in 2005 to pursue solo careers.

The R&B group has sold 60 million records worldwide to date since their debut as teenagers under the name Girl's Tyme, whose original line-up was Beyonce, Kelly, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett.

In 2002, Destiny's Child announced a hiatus before returning in 2004 with their fourth and final studio album 'Destiny Fulfilled', which peaked at number two in the US Billboard 100 and number five in the UK.

Beyonce is gearing up to release her fifth solo studio album this spring and will be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show on February 4, where she is rumoured to be joined on stage by Kelly and Michelle.

'Love Songs' will be released on Tuesday January 29 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.
