Beyoncé Surprised the Internet Again with Black Is King

 In just a week, Beyoncé is trending again. Last time, Beyoncé dropped her single, “Black Parade”, during Juneteenth. For those of you who want to hear more, you are in luck. Beyoncé is back with her new visual album Black Is King, which will premiere on July 31st on Disney plus. According to Disney Plus, the visual album is a reimagination of “The Lion King.” It tells the story of Black families’ “transcendent journey through betrayal, love, and self-identity.” Through such a story, Beyoncé and Disney aim to encourage “today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns.” On top of that, Beyoncé  hopes to raise the voices of the Black community and to “celebrate Black resilience and culture.”

With this mission in mind, the production team represents “diversity and connectivity,” giving a chance for producers to shine. Other than Beyoncé, the album features an exciting array of artists. This list includes Blue Ivy Carter, Jessie Reyez, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Tierra Whack, and more. On Twitter, one user congratulated the production team for incorporating such a variety of voices.

Indeed, Beyoncé is a legend. As a role model, Beyoncé constantly inspires her fans to fight for their dreams and justice for all.  As we can see, this inspiration comes from Beyonce’s endless excellent and thoughtful projects. A user commented, “Beyonce has been working this whole time. That woman just never stops. We don’t deserve her.”
