Disney+ has given a glimpse of Beyoncé’s visual album Black is King.
The new official trailer for Beyoncé’s forthcoming visual album “Black Is King” reveals a bevy of celebrity cameos, including her Destiny’s Child cohort Kelly Rowland, Lupita Nyong’o, Naomi Campbell and Jay-Z.
The streaming service released a new trailer for the project Sunday featuring footage of Beyoncé and the 38-year-old singer as narrator.
The preview follows a young boy as he grows and makes a series of life-altering choices.
“You, who were formed by the heat of the galaxy, what a thing to be. Both unique and familiar. To be one and the same. And still unlike any other,” Beyoncé says.
Black is King is based on the The Lion King: The Gift, the album Beyoncé released in 2019 for Disney’s Lion King remake. Beyoncé voiced Nala in the photorealistic remake, which opened in theaters in July 2019. “Black Is King” will also offer videos for “My Power,” “Mood 4 Eva” and “Brown Skin Girl.”
The visual album reimagines the lessons of “The Lion King” and will arrive on Disney+ shortly after the one year anniversary of Disney’s most recent adaptation of the story.
The voyages of Black families throughout time are honored in the tale about a young king’s transcendent journey through betrayal, love and self-identity. His ancestors help guide him toward his destiny, and with his father’s teachings and guidance from his childhood love, he earns the virtues needed to reclaim his home and throne.
The new trailer is much more narrative than the previously-released teaser video. It begins with Beyoncé in voiceover saying, “Life is a set of choices. Lead, or be led astray. Follow your light, or lose it.”
“Black Is King” will premiere globally on July 31 and is written, directed and executive produced by Beyoncé.
Watch the footage, which by Tuesday has earned over 1.5m views on YouTube.
