The world premiere of Lion King is July 19 and in preparation of the movie, Beyonce has released the very first full single of the Disney remake, titled ‘Spirit’.
The new song released by Beyonce is not one of the classics from the original movie but is Beyonce’s original song for the movie. This is not the only song in the movie that she plays the role of Nala, the wife of Simba.
The song, “Spirit” is the first full single to be released from the movie’s upcoming soundtrack, The Lion King: The Gift, which Beyoncé herself is producing. She also shares a duet with Donald Glover who plays Simba in the movie for the classic song, “Can you feel the love tonight?”
Disney announced the new song on their social media platforms yesterday saying: “Just Announced: “The Lion King: The Gift,” a new album of songs featuring global recording artists and steeped in the sounds of Africa, produced and curated by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, will be released July 19. “Spirit,” the single from the album and from the soundtrack for The Lion King, will be available later tonight.”
The soundtrack is also expected to be released the same day the movie hits the theatres. To listen to the new song, click here.
