In addition to executive producing the album, Beyonce's featured on several songs: the opening track, \"Bigger\"; \"The Nile,\" featuring Lamar; “Find Your Way Back (Circle of Life)”; \"Mood 4 Eva,\" with JAY-Z and Gambino; as well as \"Otherside,\" \"Water,\" \"Already\" and the previously released \"Spirit.\"

Meanwhile, the track \"Brown Skin Girl\" features an appearance from Beyonce's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

\"We've kind of created our own genre and I feel like the soundtrack is the first soundtrack where it becomes visual in your mind,\" the singer explained. \"The soundscape is more than just the music because each song tells the story of the film.\"

\"The Lion King: The Gift\" is now available from all the usual outlets.
