While on Good Morning America to promote her new visual album, Beyoncé shares:

“Black Is King is finally here. I’m so excited you guys get to watch it tonight on Disney+. It’s been a year in the making,” Beyoncé said in a message on Good Morning America on Thursday.  I worked with a diverse group of very gifted directors and actors and creatives from all over the world to reimagine the story of The Lion King.  The narrative unfolds through music videos, fashion, dance, beautiful natural settings and raw new talent, but it all started in my backyard,” she continued.  So from my house to Johannesburg to Ghana to London to Belgium to the Grand Canyon — it was truly a journey to bring this film to life.  And my hope for this film is that it shifts the global perception of the word Black, which has always meant inspiration and love and strength and beauty to me,” she added. “But Black Is King means Black is regal and rich in history in purpose and in lineage. I hope y’all love it, I hope you enjoy it and I hope y’all see it tonight.”

 

 

 

Inspired by The Lion King, the visual album features full-length music videos for songs such as ‘Brown Skin Girl,’ ‘Mood 4 Eva,’ ‘My Power’ and Beyoncé’s latest, ‘Already.’
