Which Beyoncé album was accompanied by the 2020 visual film Black Is King?

The story behind the answer

The 2020 visual film Black Is King accompanied Beyoncé’s album The Lion King: The Gift.

The Lion King: The Gift was released in July 2019 as a companion album to Disney’s live-action film The Lion King. Beyoncé executive-produced the project and contributed songs inspired by the film’s characters, themes, and African musical influences.

Black Is King premiered on Disney+ on July 31, 2020. Beyoncé wrote, directed, and executive-produced the film, which uses music from The Lion King: The Gift in a visual narrative about identity, ancestry, family, and Black cultural expression.

The title can be confused with Beyoncé’s earlier visual album Lemonade, but Black Is King is not a visual album for Lemonade. It is a separate film project built around The Lion King: The Gift, with songs such as “Spirit,” “Already,” and “Brown Skin Girl.”
