NEW YORK — The Bey Hive was feeling the love Friday over Beyonce's release of the album "The Lion King: The Gift," which the pop queen dropped as a sister piece to her new film, a remake of the Disney classic. "I wanted to be authentic to what is beautiful about music in Africa," Beyonce, who voices Nala in "The Lion King," told ABC's "Good Morning America." In classic Beyonce fashion, the album skews toward the visual -- what she calls "sonic cinema." It also includes the legendary "Lion King" scene where Simba and Nala lock eyes over a pool oasis, which the new film recreated from the original animated take. "The soundscape is more than just the music because each song tells the story of the film," Beyonce said.
