Speaking about her inspiration for the LP, Beyonce said: 'I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, and not just use some of the sound or my own interpretation of it.
'I wanted it to be authentic to what is beautiful about the music in Africa,' she added.
'A lot of the drums, chants, all of these incredible new sounds mixed with some of the producers from America, we've kind of created our own genre.'
The Lion King topped $1 billion at the box office this week, becoming the fourth Disney movie to hit the billion-dollar benchmark this year.
