The GRAMMY-winning star of the Disney remake will share more details about her curated album in an exclusive interview on ABC
Today, GRAMMY-winning multi-hyphenate Beyoncé offered the world yet another gift, the stacked track list of the forthcoming The Lion King-inspired album she executive produced. The 14-song LP features some of the hottest talent from the States and Africa, including her co-star Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, her husband JAY-Z and past-collaborator Kendrick Lamar. Rising American artists Tierra Whack, 070 Shake and Jessie Reyez also contribute to tracks, as well as Nigerian powerhouses Mr Eazi, Burna Boy, WizKid, Tiwa Savage, Tekno and Yemi Alade, plus Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale, Cameroonian artist Salatiel and South Africa’s Busiswa and Moonchild Sanelly.
Both the The Lion King: The Gift album and the new CGI-animated film will be released this Fri., July 19. The Lion King Soundtrack, along with Beyoncé’s powerful new track “Spirit,” which finds a home on both albums, was released digitally last week. The film’s soundtrack and score were composed by GRAMMY-winner Hans Zimmer, with “Spirit” coming from Zimmer, Lebo M. and Beyoncé.
