In breaking news, it’s been announced that Beyonce will be releasing a new compilation album in support of ‘The Lion King.’
Details below…
Christened ‘The Lion King: The Gift,’ the set will arrive in tandem with the global release of the film on July 19th.
Via Disney:
“The Lion King: The Gift,” an album featuring global artists & steeped in the sounds of Africa, produced & curated by
@Beyonce Knowles-Carter, will release 7/19. “Spirit,” the single from the album & soundtrack for The Lion King, will be available tonight.
UPDATE:
With The Lion King: The Gift album, Beyoncé curated a masterful recording, a robust soundscape bringing together some of her favorite artists with the most talented and important African artists of the day to both pay tribute to the iconic film and bring the authentic sounds of African music to the world.
“This is sonic cinema,” said Beyoncé. “This is a new experience of storytelling. I wanted to do more than find a collection of songs that were inspired by the film. It is a mixture of genres and collaboration that isn’t one sound. It is influenced by everything from R&B, pop, hip hop and Afro Beat.”
In planning and recording the album, the artists’ personal connection to the iconic film and its story was highly considered.
“I wanted to put everyone on their own journey to link the storyline,” she continued. “Each song was written to reflect the film’s storytelling that gives the listener a chance to imagine their own imagery, while listening to a new contemporary interpretation. It was important that the music was not only performed by the most interesting and talented artists but also produced by the best African producers. Authenticity and heart were important to me.”
The Lion King: The Gift, with new recordings by Beyoncé, features a beautiful, multi-genre symphony, steeped in African influences from various corners of the Continent, with unexpected collaborations, pulsating rhythms and crisp production that celebrate the African diaspora. This love letter to Africa highlights the setting of the film, rooted in African culture and wondrous narratives. Track list and featured artists on The Lion King: The Gift are forthcoming.

LET’S GO!!! Watch all the haters who call her overrated be the first checking in.
SHE ALWAYS ACTS AS IF SHE IS DOING SOCIETY THIS BIG FAVOR! It’s truky disgusting how she is morphing a creative, collaborative project into her own personal achievement. She’s making herself the centerpiece of a masterful work that otherwise… has NOTHING to do with her.
THE LION KING will not be more successful as a result of this very unnecessary “curated” album. NO ONE more than 14,000 consumers will even lend their money to purchasing this very wasteful work.
Beyonce is NOT and never will be a huge commercial force in being able to push real album units or reaching the top of billboard with individual records.
This scrapped together SPIRIT single will execute to be nothing more than a big try hard track — laced in stake rhythms, trite lyrics & overdone production.
Once again… if it’s Emmy, Golden Globe & Oscar glory that Beyonce & her team are chasing with this “BIG SOLO SOUNDTRACK SINGLE”, they can all forget it.
…much like the public will listen tonight, headlines will feature tomorrow & no one will even be streaming the simple record twice come Friday.
Beyonce’s music since 2013 has all been forgettable, bland, meaningless & completely sub par beyond the associated visuals.
Girl you wrote all the s*** nobody is going to read and the GAG IS…. Beyoncé is still that chick 23 years later! Stay mad ???
@Beylover EVERYONE on this site reads my commentary. EVERYONE. check the level of responses. everything I say is honest, true & supported.
You’re white aren’t you?
Fact???
SHE ALWAYS ACTS AS IF SHE IS DOING SOCIETY THIS BIG FAVOR!
It’s truly disgusting how she is morphing a creative, collaborative project into her own personal achievement.
She’s making herself the centerpiece of a masterful work that otherwise… has NOTHING to do with her. It was a HUGE MISTAKE casting her behinds as Nala in this classic Disney film.
THE LION KING will not be more successful as a result of this very unnecessary “curated” album.
NO ONE beyond 14,000 consumers will even lend their money to purchasing this very wasteful work.
Beyonce is NOT and never will be a huge commercial force in being able to push real album units or reaching the top of billboard with individual records. She sells albums, but not in the realm of DIAMOND status projects held by our Mariah’s, Whitney’s & Janet Jackson’s.
This scrapped together SPIRIT single will execute to be nothing more than a big try hard track — laced in stale rhythms, trite lyrics & overdone production.
Once again… if it’s Emmy, Golden Globe & Oscar glory that Beyonce & her team are chasing with this “BIG SOLO SOUNDTRACK SINGLE”, they can all forget it.
…FORGOTTEN much like the public will listen tonight, headlines will feature the SPIRIT single tomorrow & no one will be streaming the simple record even twice come Friday.
Beyonce’s music since 2013’s “self titled” album has all been forgettable, bland, meaningless & completely sub par beyond the associated visuals.
Gaaaayyyyeeeee fem bottom ?
You act like you’re doing if a favor by writing a contrived article about Beyonce in the comment section of a gossip blog. Lmao how dare you think you are anybody to say what’s not going to sell or do well. Hate all you must musty. You’re sitting behind a cheap boost mobile phone screeen trying to spew negativity guess what that s*** only comes back to you. Hope you enjoy the matinee of the movie when it comes out. You know you’ll be there and streaming the music. While you’re at it make sure to check out all the cool African artist on the compilation album bih.
Shut it Jermaine aka FAKE Jasmine. Don’t speak to Brent like that u fake ass sissy. U will never be me so change ur user name f.ag!

B**** you played yourself!!! TF I look like reading that! YOU DONT KNOW HER
What is the point in making an album about the Lion King when it already has its own soundtrack? Bey should be releasing a new solo album.

Girl you probably definitely don’t live in LA I would fcuk you up if I ran into your dry faced a**. Now make sure to keep commenting on every Bey post and dream the new music and watch the new movie k unt
Technically, I do not live on the streets of LA digging through trash cans for food like u do TRASH! Me and my family live in Pacific Palisades and love it. It’s safe, secure, private, and we have a special TASK FORCE to keep homeless trash like OUT. Too bad TGJ doesn’t have a block filter so people can block ur copy cat bum ass forever. Peasant.

It’s sad how far she will go to make sure ALL of the focus is upon her smh. I’m not here for it. I’m good, y’all can have all these antics ??♂️
Exactly.
Good bye to both of y’all who are clearly here for it as you both came to comment on an article about her lmao

You’re a dumb k unt aren’t you you Delusional Beyonce stan? It’s a compilation album meaning there are other artist on the album not just her dimwit. Imagine being so vile and hateful while hundreds are at a premiere here in Hollywood getting their life. While you use someone else’s phone to comment your fake hate for Bey.
SHUT it FAKE JasMAN! We get it u love ROACHES which is why u a ROACH fan! TGJ needs some RAID yall.
Here she is again saying the same thing over and over lmao …I’m Jasmine/Jermaine that’s acute drag babe actually
Everyone is entitled to their opinions…..
and Michelle was always my favorite member of DC (I know that’s rare lol) — BUT how can y‘all deny Beyoncé’s level of success with the “flop” rhetoric i see on this blog??
Every solo project she’s ever put out has gone #1/ went platinum
?????
lmaoooo the lies, #HomeFLOPPING didn’t even see 20k, everything is FLOPPED barely did 100k nice try bug lmfaooooo ? ?? ?
This person said solo projects you idiot. She’s stills successful unlike you. Who’s at a world premiere with all eyes on her? Right
ROACH! FAKE JASman
Post jayz he refer to her as the second coming. second coming of what ?? She cannot even sing like Whitney Houston….what we’re supposed to forget that he talked this b**** up like she was the s*** and she can’t even sing like Whitney Houston
Lol that’s a big REACH. if bey COULD sing like Whitney she would be completely IRRELEVANT by now. Whitney’s voice is TOO BIG it’s too much for current radio. Bey is still the only performer with a really BIG voice, Maybe not like Whitney but as long as bey can pull off songs like Listen AND single Ladies that’s all that’s required which explains why bey is still relavant after 22 years. Whitney was WASHED UP after 15 years lol. Beys voice is BETTER not biiger than whitneys which is ideal. Bey does songs that only SHE can pull off and that’s been true since Bday. Whitney had far less RANGE than bey vocally and musically.
“Beys voice is BETTER…than whitneys…” is the most RIDICULOUS and idiotic things I’ve heard in a long time. I usually don’t comment but this was just too outrageous for me to remain silent.
Beys voice is BETTER not bigger than Whitney which is why bey has a bigger career than whitney RIP…

I’ll pass.
I see the ? got the girls MAD!
you really are a ghetto, ratchet, RAT! I hate the way you card carrying beyhive members speak. most of you present to be extremely uneducated, classless, lacking poise, void of decorum & very naive. you all are impressed by smoke & mirrors, as most of you are too ignorant to think for yourselves or question the validity of propaganda you’ve been spoon fed.
THINK FOR YOURSELF, IDIOT!
Shut up you’re so pressed lmao you probably need to see a therapist. I’m not sure why so many Bey haters comment on anything lost about her instead of skipping it lmao. Whew child
Leave Brent alone. He don’t want u TRASH. Checkin at the homeless shelter is almost up. U better scurry there before u have to sleep on the park bench again TRASH.
@Beylover THEY ARE BIG MAD!!!! I love it!!!! ????
Meanwhile Beyoncé is UNBOTHERED!
Let the girls continue to seeth ???
?? Y’all really get mad when she puts something out! It’s hilarious watching people be upset by someone so successful that she cares less about her sales than the haters. She has nothing to prove, but y’all prove her point about being that B**** every time you throw jabs for NOTHING. Ridiculous.
It’s so sad! Hating on Beyoncé is sooooo 2006 “B-day” era…. Like get over it already Beyoncé is heat to stay! It’s not Beyoncé fault your fav not relevant or hasn’t given their fans an album since 2016 ???
Beyonce on the afrobeat? Interesting…definitely gonna be smashing hits to come
The Lion Queen ?
This! ❤️
The surprise antics are getting old lol. Especially for an album about the lion king SMH
A compilation album is not a Beyonce album. Know the difference you idiot.
This is just hilarious at this point ? Y’all heaux over here workin yourselves into a frenzy over a damn movie soundtrack! SMDH I’m sure when it finally drops y’all gone say it’s the best song in the history of mankind. ? Whew chile, this is the definition of a cult.
Whew child you’ll be listening and watching the movie too gworl.
It is so OBVIOUS u are that sissy ‘JasMAN da bi Asian’ who is OBSESSED with me and wish it could live my life. The thirst for me is unreal. U need MENTAL HELP.
Says the idiot who has commented on everything I have posted ?
This lady make everything about her it’s so ridiculous. Why a movie that has a soundtrack needs an album ??
I’ll listen the song ..but not expecting anything bigger then the circle of life ..lol
WE ARE READYYYYYYY!!!!!! https://youtu.be/oMp58oVociw
Smh…. y’all be so mad at Beyonce it don’t make no damn sense. Y’all mad she in the movie cuz y’all say she can’t act, now she doing a soundtrack and y’all mad at that. Just sad, and the ones who be so mad be the main ones streaming and buying albums and concert tickets. I don’t understand if you don’t like her that much then why even bother? Why even read the article? Why even post? It really baffles me. And this is not even her album this is her with other artist. They are just using her name and saying she’s releasing it as a way to get press.
Exactly. She’s doing trap, people want vocals.
She’s serving vocals, she’s being called out for not being a vocalist. Or not enough emotions or whatsoever. Or making the project about herself.
It doesn’t make any sense.
You have the right to dislike what she does but at this point it sounds more like b!tching over everything.
I can’t wait to hear the album, that’s what that article was talking about years ago.
Meh. Garbage like her recent stuff
Lol hey fan
Lion King received poor reviews….
