Beyoncé Knowles, an artist who many years before said that she makes music to empower girls and women has delighted her fans once again, with the release of her new visual album Black is King.
Even though Black is King is dedicated to her young son, Sir, and it features a fair amount of uplifting messages for black boys and men, in no way has the queen forgotten about all the girls and women who have looked forward to the new words, new moves, messaging, beats, and visuals in Black is King, a new visual album inspired by The Lion King (2019).
As expected, there are plenty of great songs on Black is King; including Water featuring Pharrell Williams and Salatiel; Already and Black Parade.
As for a brand new female empowerment anthem, all I needed to hear was the first few seconds of My Power, and I knew I’d found my favourite song. The visuals in Black is King are often so arresting that you may find it hard to look away, even if you may not be loving a song that’s playing in the moment.
Beyoncé fans don’t need telling to watch Black is King. As for film, fashion, poetry and photography fans, watch Black is King for a memorable audio-visual feast. It’s certainly more than a series of music videos playing one after the other.
Happy Film Loving,
G
