Pop royalty Beyonce on Friday released her much-hyped visual album
“Black Is King,” an aesthetically ambitious video billed as a companion to her 2019 album of songs inspired by Disney’s live-action remake of “The Lion King.”
Beyonce had described the work as a “labor of love,” that now serves “a greater purpose” than its original role as a companion piece to “The Lion King: The Gift,” given the current sociopolitical climate. “I believe that when Black people tell our own stories, we can shift the axis of the world and tell our REAL history of generational wealth and richness of soul that are not told in our history books.”
Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson and former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland also make appearances, as well as daughter Blue Ivy and rare footage of her twins, Rumi Carter and Sir Carter. Simultaneously one of music’s most private but most-watched stars, the 38-year-old uses her massive social media platform to curate her image and promote her work imbued with broad social commentary on topics including gender and race.
