Which Beyoncé album includes the song “Black Parade,” released during Juneteenth 2020?

The story behind the answer

The Lion King: The Gift includes Beyoncé’s song “Black Parade,” released during Juneteenth 2020.

The album was released on July 19, 2019, as a companion project to the 2019 film The Lion King. Beyoncé served as executive producer and described the project as a musical exploration of African roots and culture.

“Black Parade” was released on June 19, 2020, known as Juneteenth, amid worldwide protests against racial injustice. The song celebrates Black identity, African heritage, and Black-owned businesses, and its release supported Beyoncé’s Black-owned business directory initiative.

The album is distinct from the 2019 soundtrack album for The Lion King. It is also separate from Black Is King, the 2020 visual album and film that reimagined music from The Lion King: The Gift.
