What was the name of Beyoncé’s 2019 companion album inspired by The Lion King?

Beyoncé’s 2019 companion album inspired by The Lion King was The Lion King: The Gift.

Released on July 19, 2019, the album was presented as a companion to Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King. Beyoncé served as executive producer and brought together artists from Africa, the United States, and other regions.

The project included the single “Spirit,” which Beyoncé performed for the film and which received nominations at major awards ceremonies. Other contributors included Jay-Z, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, and several African artists.

The Lion King: The Gift is distinct from Black Is King, Beyoncé’s 2020 visual album and film that reimagined the project’s themes and imagery. It is also separate from the film’s original soundtrack, which primarily contains songs heard directly in the movie.
