    Beyoncé recently released the highly anticipated Spirit music video for her new film, The Lion King, which premiered exclusively on ABC.

    The video’s debut took place during ABC’s The Lion King: Can You Feel The Love primetime special, which featured Robin Roberts. The soundtrack, which features artists such as Pharrell, Jay Z, Childish Gambino, Burna Boy, and other African artist from around the world, was curated and executive produced by the Texas Native.

    In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Beyoncé discussed her involvement in the making of the film’s soundtrack.

    “The soundtrack is a love letter to Africa and I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, not just use some of the sounds and did my own interpretation of it,” she said. “I wanted it to be authentic to what is beautiful about the music in Africa. I feel like the soundtrack, it becomes visual in your mind. It’s a soundscape. It’s more than just the music because each song tells the story of the film.”

    Spirit was filmed at Havasu Falls in the Havasupai Reservation in Arizona, and features some pretty amazing visuals such as synchronized background dancers. Daughter Blue Ivy even makes a cameo, matching her mother in a pink gown and red-tinted hair.

    The singer is also celebrating the 2019 Emmys nomination, which was announced Tuesday, for her Netflix film, Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé. The footage takes the viewer through the rehearsal process of her 2018 Coachella performance. It has a remarkable six nominations, including “Outstanding Variety Special” (pre-Recording).

    The Lion King: The Gift is set to be released in theatre’s this Friday, July 19.
