‘The Lion King’ is as anticipated for its cinematic brilliance as it is for its musical magnificence. And the latter is proving justified.
Moments ago, Disney released the full soundtrack for the surefire blockbuster, featuring renewed versions of songs from the 1994 classic – as well as three new numbers too.
However, it appears the centrepiece of the project is Beyonce and Donald Glover‘s take on ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight?’
The singing sensations play Nala and Simba respectively and their Pharrell produced duet appears at a pivotal part of the film.
Ahead of ‘The Lion King’s July 19th release, take a listen to ‘Can You Feel’ after the jump…
decent cover…since Spirit is flopping… maybe this will do what they hoped for
?you sound dumb af, u hating h*** always think something is flopping smh the song just came out & is doing well & will do even better when the movie drops next week

Do you have a job?
I’ll wait to hear it in the movie but I can already tell you I’ll remain a fan of Elton Johns version!
Lol, cute cover but Nala is doing way to much ???
love Beyoncé’s versatility in vocals and of course her district voice is incomparable! ?
Wow!! That sounds awesome!! I can’t wait to see the movie, The Lion King is one of my favorite Disney movies. I have a feeling that it’s gonna be really good.
This! ❤️ ? ?
THat is awesome ?.
They should’ve just let Beyonce sing the whole damn thing since they obviously had her vocals louder than everyone else’s. I could barely enjoy it honestly.
I agree. Louder and doing way too much for a character voice.
Agreed. This is a clearly a song where less is more. She’s a seasoned musician/vocalist and should know that.
I SO AGREE WITH YOU
Why do people who don’t understand music/movie business have so much input from their cubicle (if you even have that much of a job) you imbeciles the engineers and producers would not release it like this if they didn’t like it
It was Beyonce. It was Donald. She’s obviously holding back as much as she can, but Donald just talking through these songs. He should have booked a vocal coach for this..
I’m loving Beyonce’s pronunciation of the words in this song which is a big part of these types of productions. The words in the song should be clean and crisp, and she killed that.
Again not bad, but when here bey take on a track like this which required big vocals, you can hear her limits
Lol this does not require Big vocals and outside of maybe 2 offplaced overbearing notes this cover was PERFECT and equal to the original. Idk what u expected lol despite popular belief beys vocal technique does have it’s flaws
EQUAL TO THE ORIGINAL!!! WHAT!!! THIS SONG WAS A TYPICAL BEYONCE MOVE OVERPOWERING THE SONG FOR NO REASON. SHE TRIED BUT ITS A BAD REMAKE COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL.
beyonce has no vocal technique, her voice is as weak as brandy’s.
And beys vocal power is definitely far bigger than this song required. Beys vocal power is somewhere between Leona Lewis whom is outclassed and Cristina agulera whom sounds horrible
lmaoooo just stop it fatso, roach and her roach screeching is not a match for this song that requires actual vocals and your fat ass knows it, Xtina’s vocal power buries that flopped roach’s weak vocals on ANY day lmfaoooooo
Why do you guys hate on her so much but run to the posts ?
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Eh…..
Bey gonna win that Oscar in 2020 for the performance of voicing Nala
She has like 20 min screen time in total. She won’t
HUH?
Oh I forgot she only does things for awards.
At least her fans are honest
lmaooo yeah right, Jesus will come back before beyonce wins an oscar.
There is no Oscar category for “voicing” an animated character in a CGI film, so I don’t think she’ll be winning any Oscars.
Yeah and if she do, it will be because she paid for it.
Love you Bey, but the vocal acrobatics on this song are completely inappropriate. This is supposed to be a sublime duet between two characters in love, not Beyonce riffing and raffing, ft. Donald Glover. No gurl, no.
AGREE
Beyonce voice sucks when singing ballads. She has no soul and when she sings you feel no goosebumps I’m sorry bey I will stick to the original lion king song and movie I’m tired of all these Disney remake and it will flop
WOW Beyoncé WOW …. She did that and her voice is everything . Wish she was by herself singing this track
Meh
Beyonce needs to stop if not she will expose her self to the world about how basic and generic her singing voice is. No emotion nothing.
Listen to lady gaga’s a star is born sound track. U can hear gaga’s pain, anger, depression, sadness, love and a host of other emotions.
Beyonce has been around for over 20 years. Everyone has heard her singing voice. Have a seat.
Gurl, I said what I said.
Spirit is flopping. Floprit LOOL
Biitch u MAD..good Day lol
Ur faves about to ruin a bunch of classics with her generic soulless voice.
Is she going to put her name amongst the songwriters of this song cause we all know miss thing love to steal song writing credit.
Is beyonce going to do a dance challenge for spirit cause spirit is about to flop the same way before I let go flopped. Lol
Yes you better DEFLECT with the unnecessary essay lol..Bey Wins..as usual?
Love, facts are facts. The taste of the pudding is in the eating. LOOOL.
I love it so much! Of course, her haters are here first. Lol
This LITERALLY left me in TEARS!!!!!!!!!! IDGAF, no slander will be tolerated. THIS WAS IT!!!!! Omg the emotion
Emotion? Gurl where? Beyonce’s voice is soul less.
I SAID WTF I SAID. I felt the emotion. Your unwanted opinion isn’t going to change my experience with the song. Move.
All I can say is …wow. Beyonce’s voice was made for this movie. Glover’s as well. Based on what I’ve heard and read so far, I think both soundtracks (the official one and Beyonce’s separate album). “Spirit” is becoming an all-time soundtrack favorite for me, right up there with Elton John’s original Lion King recordings and Whitney’s Bodyguard recordings IMO.
I love Spirit. Then again, Beyonce could LITERALLY step on my throat with a pointy heel and I would gladly let her. So maybe I’m biased lol
You are delusional
Can You Feel sounds like a duet with Kermit the Frog
The Bodyguard?? you have wax in both ears
Why are you bringing up The Bodyguard?? Y’all bBey hating lunatics only reside here in TGJ lmao enjoy posting hateful comments that will never reach her
In a meanwhile Brent Christopher is typing a full essay on how basic Beyonce is…..
?????????? YOU KNOW IT
Every once and a while Beyonce has to remind you mortals that she can SING sing!
TERRIBLE
This sounds like a Jim Henson Soundtrack
Just heard it. That was simply beautiful. Some of y’all just some hatin ass haters! Stay mad! They killed it!
An early review for the film: https://www.indiewire.com/2019/07/the-lion-king-review-2019-1202157153/
Now, about that Oscar talk……
Sir, Indie Wire isn’t a deciding factor for everyone lmao..there are other critics and audience critics who say otherwise. You haven’t even seen it hater
I like the original. These two added nothing to the song. I hate when people re-do things just for their own egos. The same goes for Beauty and The Beast. I hate that they redid the iconic song from that soundtrack.
Beyonce only has TWO songs on the the new soundtrack.. this and Spirit. I also believe in this film Bey’s voice is only about 20 percent of the entire 2 hour plus running time.
Bey haters need to stop making this some kind of A Star Is Born sized lead role for her. This film’s performance and/or reviews DO NOT rest primarily on Bey… this is a highly anticipated DISNEY live action remake featuring an ENSEMBLE cast. The director, cinematographer, screenwriters are the MAIN ppl responsible for how this project is received.
AGAIN, Bey only has 2 tracks on the main SDTK and a speaking role that’s only 20-25 mins.
Regarding the song.. I would have preferred them cut out that cheesy speaking intro.. that could have been an interlude.. Eltons version didnt have that cheesy intro.. it was just a straightforward melody.. this version sounds like it was lifted directly from a musical. Other than that, Bey’s vocals are sublime. ??
Actually the original lion king soundtrack does that have “cheesy” intro
Fan of everyone but this sounds off…Donald is singing flat and emotionless …you can’t ding like that with Beyoncé…Seth did waaay too much talking at the beginning…Nala and Timon saved this
Just heard the original and its Stale lol. Yall really are haterz on here smh
This sounds sSO GOOD! Omg
YES!! https://youtu.be/oMp58oVociw
This sounds amazing anyone who says otherwise is seriously a hater
Yes indeed
How is this a “new song” if it was originally released in 1994?
I really wonder if the person who writes this gossip blog actually finished school!!!
Stop coming back posting multiple times as a different person lmao
The movie has some bad reviews. Better stick to the original
Horrible
I think she sounds beautiful.
I’m not convinced AT ALL by Donald
I mean… with all the beautiful voices out there, they picked him… I need to see the movie of course. But I don’t think he has the chops to carry those songs. He’s very limited.
This is a hit!!
Beyoncé killed it!!!!!! Her vocals are on point!!!
I prefer the original. This cover is just ok.
Beyonce’s melisma is so damn annoying. Just sing the note girl, you ain’t Whitney or Mariah!!!
