Which Beyoncé album was created as a companion to Disney’s 2019 film The Lion King?

The Lion King: The Gift was created as a companion album to Disney’s 2019 film The Lion King. Beyoncé curated and executive-produced the album, which was released on July 19, 2019.

The project features songs inspired by the film and its African settings, with contributions from artists including Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Childish Gambino, Pharrell Williams, and Major Lazer. Beyoncé’s song “Spirit” served as the lead single and appears in the film.

The Gift is different from Black Is King, a 2020 visual album and film that reimagined the album’s themes. The companion album also differs from the film’s original soundtrack, which contains the movie’s score and songs in a separate release.
