Beyoncé's Black Is King celebrates the Black experience, African cultures and roots, Black resilience, and the importance of the Black family, specifically today's young kings and queens. 

Beyoncé first announced the visual album in late June with a surprise first-look trailer. The star described the film as a "labor of love," sharing on Instagram that she'd worked the better part of a year to complete the project. Black Is King comes more than a year after the initial release of Beyoncé's album The Lion King: The Gift.

The fans received the album happily, as it re-depicts the story of "Lion King" using human beings, Beyoncé added that her album aims to change the global concept of the word " Black."

It's worthy to be mentioned that Beyoncé's release of this album comes after the renewed focus on racial injustice and oppression following demonstrations against systemic racism led by the Black Lives Matter movement

The new masterful visual album has been released on Disney+. It features cameos by Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong'o, JAY-Z, Kelly Rowland, Pharrell Williams, Tina Knowles Lawson, and others. 

Yet the sparkling celebration of Black roots and culture is right on time due to renewed focus on racial injustice and oppression following demonstrations against systemic racism led by the Black Lives Matter movement.
