The soundtrack for Disney’s photorealistic computer-animated remake of 1994’s The Lion King has finally arrived ahead of the film’s theatrical release later this month. The 19-track project features Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Seth Rogen, John Oliver, JD McCrary, Shahadi Wright Joseph, and more. Tracks like “Circle of Life/Nants’ Ingonyama” and “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” are sure to be familiar to fans of the original film, but the soundtrack also includes Beyoncé’s new song “Spirit.”
The new soundtrack is the first of two Lion King projects to drop. Next week will see the release of the Beyoncé-curated project The Lion King: The Gift, which features original music inspired by the film.
