LOS ANGELES — Beyoncé dropped a new original song Tuesday night from Disney’s live-action “Lion King.”
“Spirit” was made available on YouTube, Amazon Music, Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify and Tidal.
A news release says the song, “Spirit,” comes at a pivotal moment for Nala, the character voiced by Beyoncé, in the film that comes out on July 18. She also co-wrote the song.
It’s part of an album called “The Lion King: The Gift” that Beyoncé is executive producing and performing on along with other artists.
The collection is a companion to the main “Lion King” soundtrack, which consists mostly of songs from the animated film, along with a new number from Elton John and Tim Rice, who wrote the songs for the original.
Both soundtrack albums will be released July 19.
