Beyoncé's next project is coming to Disney Plus, and, thankfully, we don't have to wait long to see it.
The visual album, called Black Is King, will drop on Disney Plus on July 31. The project, which Bey wrote, directed, and executive produced, is based on the The Lion King: The Gift, the soundtrack that Beyoncé curated for the photorealistic remake of the animated classic, in which she also voiced Nala. Black Is King will star the featured artists from The Lion King: The Gift, which included tracks from Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell, 070 Shake, Tierra Whack, Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter, Jessie Reyez, Wizkid, Shatta Wale, Burna Boy, Mr Eazi, Tiwa Savage, Tekno, Yemi Alade, Busiswa, and Salatiel.
Appropriately, Black Is King is set to premiere on the one-year anniversary of The Lion King's theatrical release.
