Beyoncé’s Black Is King visual album is here and we’re all shooketh to highest level of shook! The Queen gifted us all with a masterpiece that’ll be on repeat during the coming days. And a fashion feast that gave us bawdy and GOALS.  Catch the vibes inside...

 

Beyoncé dropped her Black Is King visual album as promised and it’s EVERY.THING.

Every couple of years, Bey raises the bar for the visual album.

Let’s not forget, Bey’s first real visual album was her sophomore album B’Day. It was the first time she released full-blown music videos for every single track. Then, she stopped the world when she unexpectedly released her 2013 self-titled album, Beyoncé, which def changed the game. Then, she snatched our wigs with her 206 visual album LEMONADE.

It’s 2020 and Mrs. Carter did NOT disappoint with her Black Is King visual album, which was a year in the making. Bey just raised the visual album bar even higher, reaching a level only she can reach. And we STAN.

Black Is King reimagines the lessons of Disney’s The Lion King for today's young kings and queens in search of their own crowns. The visual album was shot all across the world, from Bey’s backyard to Ghana, Johannesburg, Belgium and the Grand Canyon.

 

 

Before unleashing her masterpiece, the Grammy Award winning singer spoke with “Good Morning America" about her new film via video conference.

“I worked with a diverse group of very gifted directors and actors and creatives from all over the world to reimagine the story of The Lion King,” she said. “The narrative unfolds through music videos, fashion, dance, beautiful natural settings, and raw new talent.”

“It was truly a journey to bring this film to life and my hope for this film is that it shifts the global perception of the word Black, which has always meant inspiration and love and strength and beauty to me,” she continued. ‘Black Is King’ means Black is regal and rich in history, in purpose, and in lineage.”

Check it:

The 90-minute film draws from last year’s Lion King: The Gift album. Kwasi Fordjour, who is the creative director of Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment, co-directed.

The project featured Bey's loved ones and friends, including her mother Tina Knowles Lawson, her husband Jay-Z, her kids Blue Ivy, Sir & Rumi Carter, her bestie Kelly Rowland, Pharrell Williams, Naomi Campbell, Wizkid, Lupita Nyong'o, and several South African artists.
