Which 2020 Beyoncé visual album is tied to The Lion King?

The story behind the answer

Black Is King is the 2020 Beyoncé visual album tied to The Lion King.

Beyoncé wrote, directed, and executive-produced Black Is King, which was released on Disney+ on July 31, 2020. The project reimagines the music and themes associated with The Lion King and serves as a companion to the 2019 soundtrack album The Lion King: The Gift.

The film uses a series of connected music videos, fashion sequences, choreography, and symbolic imagery. It centers African and African-diaspora identity, family, ancestry, and the passage from childhood to adulthood. Beyoncé also voices Nala in the 2019 photorealistic remake of The Lion King.

Black Is King includes appearances by artists such as Blue Ivy Carter, Jay-Z, Tina Knowles-Lawson, and several performers from The Gift. The title is not the same as Homecoming, Beyoncé’s 2019 concert documentary about her Coachella performance.
