Tekno, Yemi Alade, Mr Eazi, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage are featured in Beyonce’s The Lion King: The Gift album

Beyoncé has dropped the tracklist for her new Lion King-inspired album The Lion King: The Gift. And we are beyond excited.

For us, the particular inclusion of a selection of Nigerian artists – Tekno, Yemi Alade, Mr Eazi, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage – in the album is of special significance – an affirmation that our artists are at least as good as their international counterparts.

And it is not just a single consolatory song but three of the 14 songs album are by Nigerian artists.

Beyonce had described the album as “sonic cinema… a new experience of storytelling. I wanted to do more than find a collection of songs that were inspired by the film. It is a mixture of genres and collaboration that isn’t one sound. It is influenced by everything from R&B, hip-hop and Afro Beat.”

Along with several new Beyoncé songs, the album also features contributions from Kendrick Lamar, JAY-Z, Childish Gambino, 070 Shake, Tierra Whack, Pharrell, and more. In addition, there’s a song with JAY and Bey’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

The Lion King: The Gift, executive produced by Beyoncé, is out this Friday, July 19 via Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records.

The soundtrack to The Lion King arrived last week. As with The Gift, it includes Beyoncé’s new song, Spirit.

The Lion King hits cinemas on 19th July.
