black parade is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard

So I'm confused - this thing coming tomorrow night/Friday - is it gonna come with an actual album that one could stream/buy or is it just gonna be the visual album on Disney+?

From what I’ve understood:
the LiON KiNG: the GiFT <<>> where Beyoncé meets with Afropop

A year after the release of her executive produced ‘Lion King: The Gift’ album, which featured a number of Africa’s best musical acts, Beyoncé has just announced that she will be releasing a visual album titled ‘Black Is King’ based on music from last year’s album.

oh lol i thought this was a full new album, had completely missed that it was based on the lion king album
― ufo, Thursday, 30 July 2020 05:11 (three years ago) link
looks like the companion album is just a deluxe edition of the lion king: the gift that doesn't have the film dialogue snippets and has "black parade", an extended mix of "black parade", and a remix of "find your way" added on at the end

Are we, like, ever actually going to get a legitimate new Beyoncé solo album at this point
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Friday, 31 July 2020 06:58 (three years ago) link
It's a reverse-race between Beyonce and Rihanna as to who can delay releasing a new album for longer.

i mean this is pretty much her saying the gift was a proper new solo album even though it doesn't quite feel like one
― ufo, Friday, 31 July 2020 07:56 (three years ago) link
Ah Rihanna, I had almost forgotten her as a singer ! Somehow it feels longer than 4 years since her latest album. Does she even care about music nowadays ? It seems she's more interested in her brand.

the "already" video is out. my enthusiasm for this isn't huge given there's not any new music attached, but her videos are always something to behold

So just to clarify, The Gift: Deluxe is the soundtrack of a short film based on the soundtrack album of a musical film that was based on a stage musical that was based on an animated film?
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 31 July 2020 12:36 (three years ago) link
wait no it's not based on the musical at all, so it's Lion King (1994) > Lion King (2019) > The Gift > BLACK IS KING > The Gift: Deluxe

again, we have a whole thread for it already:the LiON KiNG: the GiFT <<>> where Beyoncé meets with Afropop
