‘The Lion King’ is set to charge into cinemas worldwide on July 19th.

Before then, though, the mass appetite for music from the movie will be catered to with the release of the film’s official soundtrack.

Given the key roles of Beyonce and Donald Glover (they play Nala and Simba respectively), colossal interest has surrounded the song component of Disney’s live-action remake of the 1994 classic.

For much of the lead up to flick’s release, those details have been kept under wraps.

But that all changed today when the official release date and tracklist were uncaged for ‘The Lion King’ original soundtrac.

Kamala Harris has her eye on the White House but has found herself swimming behind the likes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden on a poll and popularity front.

So, she is now determined to set the record straight on a number of issues she feels may be standing in the way of her win by addressing them head on.

First on the agenda?
