Beyoncé’s fans spent quite some time waiting for her next single since she’s been pretty busy with her work on The Lion King. The movie’s soundtrack eventually gave us one of her most moving songs to date in “Spirit”, and the majestic video for this track is finally here.

The music video shows Beyoncé in a series of vibrant costumes, performing amazing choreography alongside a group of dancers in several dreamlike locations. This visual is intercepted with clips from the movie and features a brief cameo from Queen Bey’s daughter Blue Ivy.

“Spirit” is one of the songs set to be featured on the album The Lion King: The Gift. It will be produced and curated by Beyoncé, who described it as “a love letter to Africa” and tried to make it as authentic as possible.

“I feel like the soundtrack, it becomes visual in your mind, it’s a soundscape, it’s more than just the music because each song tells the story of the film,” said Beyoncé during ABC’s The Lion King: Can You Feel The Love Tonight primetime special.
