Destiny is the seventh studio solo album released by American singer Gloria Estefan, but is the nineteenth of her career overall. It was released in 1996.
The first single from the album, "Reach", became a hit around the world and was the official theme of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. This album features a more ambient sound than previous Estefan albums, with only two songs: "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)" and "Higher" being up-beat.
The album included a bonus enhanced selection, in which Estefan talks about the album and the song "Reach" in particular. It also features an animated discography of Estefan.
The album ended at #116 on the Billboard Year-End chart and as of 2005 it sold 877,000 in United Sates according to Nielsen Soundscan.
