Beyonce Releases 'The Lion King: The Gift' Deluxe Album Ahead of 'Black is King' Release - Listen Now!

Beyonce is gearing up for the release of her new movie Black is King!

Just a few short hours before the movie debuts on Disney+, the 38-year-old entertainer released the deluxe version of her album The Lion King: The Gift, which she released last summer.

The deluxe version of the album features her latest single “Black Parade,” which she released on Juneteenth, an extended version of that track, and the MELO-X remix for “Find Your Way Back.”

Black is King is based on the music of The Lion King: The Gift, debuting two weeks after the one-year anniversary of the theatrical release of Disney’s The Lion King.

Written, directed, and executive produced by Beyonce, the film “reimagines the lessons from the 2019 blockbuster for today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns.”

Special guests in the movie include models Aweng Ade-Chuol and Adut Akech, supermodel Naomi Campbell, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Lupita Nyong’o, Kelly Rowland, Pharrell Williams, Blue Ivy Carter, and Jay-Z, among others.

Black is King will be released on Disney+ at Friday, July 31 at 12am PT, 3am ET.
