For Black is King, however, the artist included a number of dancers, actors, and even celebrities to make the Disney+ exclusive visual album a full body of work.

Only a few weeks after the release of “Black Parade,” this artist is back with a visual album featuring the songs of The Lion King: The Gift.

“Black Is King is a celebratory memoir for the world on the Black experience,” Disney and Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment said in announcing the visual album, according to Variety.

Singers and rappers who recorded for The Lion King: The Gift returned to work on this visual version of the album.

With this visual album, I wanted to present elements of Black history and African tradition, with a modern twist and a universal message, and what it truly means to find your self-identity and build a legacy.
