The Lion King: The Gift Featuring Shatta Wale

The Gift showcases Beyoncé’s iconic voice on musical tracks that are interspersed with “interludes” from characters from the movie, including Mufasa, Nala, Simba, Scar, Timon and Pumbaa.

Fans who can’t wait to hear the new renditions of songs from the original, like “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” can hear those on the movie’s official soundtrack.

Calling the album “a love letter to Africa,” the mother of three, 37, told ABC News, “I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it. I wanted it to be authentic to what is beautiful about the music in Africa.” The release of The Gift comes days after she premiered the music video of the first single “Spirit,” which is also featured in the film.
