The Lion King Soundtrack Has All the Classic Hits (and a New Song by Beyoncé!)

Updated on July 12, 2019 at 11:00 AM

Let's be honest: the best part of any classic Disney film is the music. That's why we're SO ready for the soundtrack of the live-action reboot of The Lion King, especially after all the sneak peeks we've gotten of the cast singing our favorite tunes.

The soundtrack features new recordings of the original songs, which will include African vocal and choir arrangements created by South African producer Lebo M. Not only does the star-studded — and ridiculously talented — cast bring a unique spin to all the classics, but Beyoncé has a brand new song titled "Spirit" on the soundtrack as part of her new curated album, The Lion King: The Gift! Check out the tracklist for the soundtrack ahead, and get ready to listen to the full playlist when the album drops along with the movie on July 19.
