- Story Text: Grammy Award-winner Beyonce released the music video for her new song "Spirit" on Tuesday (July 16) as part of the soundtrack for the new "The Lion King" movie.
U.S. singer Beyonce is the executive producer of 'The Lion King: The Gift album' and sings on original track 'Spirit'.
The music video features scenes from the remake of the 1994 Disney movie which uses computer-generated imagery to bring a realistic look to Pride Rock. Beyonce's seven-year-old daughter Blue Ivy also makes a cameo.
Beyonce voices the lion Nala in the movie, while actor Donald Glover is the voice behind the grown-up Simba.
The new version blends virtual reality, live action and digital imagery to bring a hyper-real feel to the animals and African settings.
The cast also includes Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar), Seth Rogen (Pumbaa) and James Earl Jones, who voiced Mufasa in the 1994 film.
