The visuals are, of course, incredible. And her daughter Blue Ivy is in it.
Slaying just as much as her mum, the youngster takes centre-stage as she holds Beyoncé’s hand while the two of them gaze over the landscape.

“This soundtrack is a love letter to Africa,” Beyoncé said while on Good Morning America. “I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa and not just use some of the sounds and do my interpretation of it. I wanted it to be authentic to what is beautiful about the music in Africa.”
The film, which was directed by Jon Favreau, stars Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Donald Glover as Simba, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Billy Eichner as Timon, John Oliver as Zazu, and James Earl Jones as Mufasa. Keegan-Michael Key and Eric Andre also star.
The Lion King will be out in theaters July 18.
