Beyonce Beyonce has done it again !!!

I love the soundtrack to Lion King, someone really needs to make brown skin girl into a ringtone. PLEASE!!!!!! ASAP!!!!!!

Because it's a Beyonce album, and Beyonce is demonic! You should expect nothing less from her lol. Beyonce shows her love to the illuminati (which she is not in control of, but a puppet to) every chance she gets, and payes her respects to the one tshe truely loves, Satan!

Real solid album

I love this album ! The movie was alright.

I enjoyed the album. Find Your Way Back is my favorite song. Wished it had a physical release as well.

I bast water in my car. Bey definitely represents our heritage beautifully. Love her

This definitely is one of my favorite albums already, extremely spiritual and motivating..

I have listened to this album multiple times now and I think it is beautiful! The arrangements are fun and I now have a new found love for Burna Boy. I cried the first time I heard Brown Skin Girl, it was so powerful to hear black and brown women celebrated in a powerful and beautiful way anthem. I still cry listening to it. I am a white female and absolutely understand the importance of this album. The representation of black culture and various artist Beyoncé chose to put this together is solid through musical translation. I think of this album as a family album something fun, vibrant, rhythmic and motivational to get up and dance. This album is about the celebration of black culture! I knew going in this was not The Lion King soundtrack, people need to understand it’s literally in the title The Gift and Beyoncé delivered just that.

😍

Love it! 💛💛

Every song is hot! It’s not a lion king album thank god! I don’t want dance to a musical.

Although a lot of this album is decent, some of the songs including “FIND YOUR WAY BACK,” “BROWN SKIN GIRL,” “OTHERSIDE,” and “SPIRIT” are absolutely fantastic! I’d call this a win! 😁

Loved the whole album from beginning to the end. If you don’t get it - IT wasn’t written for you. There is a new Lion King sound track... this is not it. This is simply The Gift and it is triumphant!

Love it queen bey does it again

Omg! Live it Bey. Keep shining hun🖤💙🖤💙

My kids and I absolutely can't stop listening to this album, especially after seeing Lion King. We relive the movie in the album's interludes. The contributions by the African artists make me a proud African!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This is not just about the lion king. You guys don’t seem understand or appreciate afrobeat music. And if you actually took time to read the summary of the album maybe you would understand why Beyoncé made this album. I think this album is great especially to someone who is actually African American. And maybe some of you who wrote one start reviews are also African American, but I know not all of you are. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you have to disrespect the people who make it. I’m not an expert on afrobeats or African music but I’ve recently started to listen to some and I like some of it. I don’t know the history behind all of it but I find it very interesting. I think listening to music from different cultures is very cool and something that should be appreciated nowadays since this kind of music and other cultures might one day be gone and taken over by the millennial generation. Being a millennial myself sometimes it’s hard to see the significance of some things that are of the past. I just think it’s important to at least respect other types of music other than the modern music we hear today.

A masterpiece!

Amazing from start to finish and so empowering

It’s clear a lot of people in these reviews are sooo lost and it’s hilarious. This album is phenomenal! From the Afrobeats, to the lyrics, to the references from the movie, to the full embodiment of the culture. All artists on this album did a great job. I love it !

No just no. Music is catchy yea but because of the scene tracks from the movie it’s just making the album is kinda dull

This album brings out all the beauty of Africa! From the Lion King movie, we see the displayed love for Africa through its nature and music (mostly instrumental). We see this as well in the musical but what the musical brings is a admiration for the black bodies of the continent and their cultures! With this album Beyonce emphasizes the love of African Cultures and Its people throughout the lands, she ushers in their rhythms and vocals and its all magnificent! I appreciate this album, especially seeing that she collaborated with so many of my favorite artists! I like to think that this album wasn’t “Beyonce with a touch of Africa(African cultures)” but “Africa touching Beyonce and its aftereffect”!

I absolutely love this project!!!! Everyone did an amazing job! The film and its soundtrack are iconic. I am grateful for this beautiful body of work.

one word: greatness. I said what I said.

If you don’t vibe with this album then it wasn’t made for you. This is a celebration of African culture and music.

I never leave reviews but I had to drop a line because the hate in here is out of control. I understand if the style(s) of music is not your vibe but the level of distasteful comments is unfounded. Just say you hate black women and go. Nothing on this album merits that much hate. There is meticulous artistry and talent in this work. That’s why the “bad” reviews skew high— the five vs one star ratings are polarizing—but there’s no actual critique. You could argue the album maybe doesn’t need so many interludes with dialogue from the movie— that’s a legit note— but the talent in undeniable. Saying it’s put together for publicity when it’s barely been marketed is just inaccurate and clearly showing a lack of actual attention when listening to the album. BIGGER, OTHERSIDE, AND SPIRIT should go down in history as some of the most beautiful poetic musical pieces of this era. The melodies transcend this Earth and the harmonies take us beyond. TRULY DIVINE. A GIFT INDEED!!

Recently, Beyoncé has put out music that isn’t suited for her gifts, and literally falls short. Her voice is nothing short of amazing, and the popular “disposable” type of music flooding the airwaves now is simply beneath someone like her. But this project is a stunning body of work. Not only is she branching out and exploring depths of social awareness through her music, she’s bringing attention to gifted artists who deserve mainstream attention, and introducing them to an audience that is craving more from their music. This album fills a void that the mainstream music scene has created. This album is rich, full of life, and fills the soul with joy. As a lover of music, and a proud musician, it’s a joy to listen to this album.

I love this album, such an inspiration, everything Beyoncé touch is just golden... love it love it love it The Afrobeats is PERFECT ! Thank you Beyoncé for another great project

If you don’t understand how this album is a gift, you don’t understand our culture or the social struggles of people of color. She put her heart into this project and it shows...its something for the people. Thank you Bey!

🕺🏽🕺🏽🐝🐝🔥🔥🔥

I love this entire album. If you don’t like to don’t get it. This album was inspired by the movie. It’s beautiful.

This Album is a piece of work and is one of her best. She shows love to the motherland with this album. By giving it a very nice Afro-Beat vibes with her powerful vocals. She also is singing more in her lower range which is great. Beyonce keep outdoing yourself.

Simply amazing!!!

From Bigger to Already & more the tracks are great. They give the true African vibe & vibrant spirit. If you love great music with with artists you will love this Album

Yes yes yes and even even more yes

It has been a long time since I actually listened to music that moved me to tears. The songs on this Album inspires me to step in my Essence and know that I’m Excellent!! Love it...

This album is NOT The Lion King album! It is inspired by The Lion King movie. This album is paying homage to Black culture and African ancestry. This is for Black people, by a BLACK WOMAN! So for those people who gave it a bad review, you have no idea who Beyonce is and what she stands for. Please educate yourselves about the African diaspora!

Love everything with Beyoncé on it.

For those reviewing, THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A SOUNDTRACK. This is an afro-beat meets american hip hop album. The music on this album is great! Her verse in MOOD 4 EVA, her voice in WATER, the inspiration & vocals in BIGGER. BROWN SKIN GIRL is such an uplifting song for our beautiful brown skin girls who have always been put down for their gorgeous skin. ALREADY just gets me in the mood. I personally loved everything on and about this album. Beyoncé just keeps doing what she loves, and creating great things with her passion and love for music. I love to see it!

Brown skin girl is a world wide anthem for brown skin girls and women all over the world from North America, South America, Central America, Europe, Asia, India, and Africa. Bigger she dropped some jewels. Bigger is my new anthem to quit playing small. The African artists hit the ball out of the park with their lyrics and beats. Thank you Queen Bey for introducing me to these African artists.

True to the roots of Africa, this really celebrates the culture and the film. Wonderfully done.

Brown skin girl

If one was to remove the clips from the movies and keep the remaining songs one would find that the album is absolutely beautiful.

Amazing album! She so legendary her voice can do so much she works so hard and this great work of art shows that thanks for all the great music Beyoncé

Love it!!!

Keep spreading this black love.

This really is a “”Gift”... incredible drums, tracks, vocals.. Don’t miss out on this gem listening to Beyoncé haters.. this is wonderful authentic music

She has done it again and they hate to see it!

This songs is amazing, the melody and vibe is everything.

Pass me the sick bucket.

Album of the year!!

She keeps making these depressing boring albums. Some of the songs are so untuneful. Where is pop beyounce who made amazing hits? It's all a bit self-indulgent love.

Beyoncé well done

I don’t care, she’s the official Queen of Music 👑

Beyoncé never lets us down, she brought together sounds of Africa to take us on a journey and delivered a timeless classic.

Beyoncé’s music catalogue is already widely diverse and this album continues that phenomenal legacy. A mix of her deepest cuts and afro beat perfection, collaborated with the finest talent from the African continent to pay respects to the roots of the Lion King. No living being on earth comes anywhere close to Beyoncé.

Amazing album not one song I don’t like 😍😍 Beyoncé didn’t come to play 👸🏽😍

Shatta wale 🇬🇭 with the Queen

Once again Beyoncé has outdone herself!

Beyoncé never does anything half-heartedly. This album is meticulously put together, with each song bringing something different, yet all of them working so perfectly together. The interludes make the album flow so effortlessly and makes this a truly original experience. “BIGGER”, “OTHERSIDE”, “MOOD 4 EVA” and “SPIRIT” were the highlights for me but there’s not one song I would skip. All fantastic.

This is a masterpiece!

Never been the biggest fan of Beyoncé, but I’ve enjoyed her last 2 albums very much. However, I think this album is the best I’ve ever heard from her. It’s very rare that you listen to an album and don’t want it to end. I was gutted when it finished. Trust me, it’s worth the purchase!

The gift no one asked for. What a pile of 💩
