The album is set to be released on July 19 but a single from the popstar titled “Spirit” was released on Tuesday night.

The song is available for download on YouTube music, Spotify, Tidal, iTunes, Apple Music and Amazon music

In a tweet from Disney earlier on Tuesday, the studio announced that "Spirit" would be released in a matter of hours. "The Lion King: The Gift, an album featuring global artists & steeped in the sounds of Africa, produced & curated by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, will release 7/19. 'Spirit,' the single from the album & soundtrack for The Lion King, will be available tonight."


In addition to her musical accompaniment, Beyoncé voices the role of Nala in the film, starring opposite Keegan-Michael Key, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen and Amy Sedaris.
