Which Beyoncé album tells its story through a film-length visual companion called Black Is King?

The Lion King: The Gift is the Beyoncé album connected to the visual film Black Is King.

Beyoncé executive-produced the 2019 album as a companion to Disney’s live-action film The Lion King, in which she voiced Nala. The album combines contemporary pop, R&B, hip-hop, and African musical influences.

Black Is King, released by Disney+ in 2020, serves as a visual album inspired by The Lion King: The Gift. Beyoncé wrote, produced, and directed the project, using elaborate choreography, fashion, symbolism, and locations to explore Black identity and global African culture.

The album includes “Spirit,” “Bigger,” and “Brown Skin Girl.” It is different from Beyoncé’s earlier self-titled visual album, which was released in 2013, and from Lemonade, her 2016 visual album.
