Beyonce Just Released A Trailer for Her Visual Album “Black Is King” That’s Coming To Disney Plus - Grit Daily

Posted: 02 Jul 2020 05:18 PM PDT

Heads up Bey Hive, the queen herself is making her way to Disney Plus. Beyoncé had already made her Disney debut back in 2019 when she voiced Nala's role in the live-action Lion King, which was terrific in every way. Beyoncé gave us her acting and her beautiful, calming voice as she voiced Nala. But hold up world, she isn't done with Disney yet, and she is back, and I'm sure about serving us like she usually does.

Beyoncé and Disney Plus surprised us all with the announcement that Beyoncé has a visual album/film titled "Black Is King" that is making its way to Disney Plus on July 31, 2020. As usual, Beyoncé is always popping out of nowhere with these surprises and snatching our wigs and edges in the process of doing so.

Beyonce has been pretty quiet lately with music. The most we've seen from her is making an appearance on the YouTube premier "Dear Class of 2020" on the BET Awards, where she received the 2020 Humanitarian Award and on Juneteenth when she dropped a song called "Black Parade" in celebration of the day.

Black Is King written and executive produced by Beyoncé herself and has been in the works for a year with cast and crew representing diversity and connectivity. The trailer dropped on a Saturday night on beyonce.com. You can check out the trailer for Black Is King below:

Black Is King is based on the music of "The Lion King: The Gift," an album that Beyoncé released with artists like Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Wizkid, Burna Boy and special appearances from her daughter Blue Ivy.

The film trailer is everything, and the background behind it is something that I think will leave an impact on the Black community. According to Disney and Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment, this is a "celebratory memoir for the world on the Black experience." This film shares cultures, generational beliefs, and the story of how this the Black community has been torn down many times but always ends up thriving.

The synopsis for the film says that "This film re-imagines lessons of The Lion King for today's young kings and queens in search of their own crowns." If you want to read the full synopsis (which I suggest you do), you can check it out here.

Black Is King is what our Black community needs more of. We need more shows, movies, celebrities, and influential figures that we can look up to. Beyoncé is giving us that and making an impact; she's giving us this film to show us what we can do and the impact that we can make in the world at a young age. Something like this can show the Black community the power we have no matter how many times we get beat down. 

The Lion King has always been one of my favorite Disney movies and does give powerful lessons on life that we can learn from. For Beyoncé to take that and transform it into something that the Black community can hold on to and take with them in the future is very special.

I believe that Black Is King will be more than Beyoncé's "re-imaging" of The Lion King. There are going to be lessons taught and learned, which will leave an excellent long-lasting taste within the Black community as it honors the rich and powerful history of Africa and its many cultures and countries.

Beyoncé Steals the Show with BET Humanitarian Award Speech - Decider

Posted: 29 Jun 2020 06:41 AM PDT

All hail Beyoncé. Last night, the star was awarded the BET Humanitarian Award at the 2020 BET Awards, and she stole the show with a moving speech about our current political moment. Beyoncé's Humanitarian Award speech called upon viewers to "dismantle a racist and unequal system," and she praised Black Lives Matter protestors across the country for demanding justice. "Your voices are being heard and you're proving to our ancestors that their struggles were not in vain," she said.

Beyoncé's BET Awards speech may have been the highlight of the night, but it was by no means the only special moment. From Marsai Martin's BET Awards look to Alicia Keys' moving performance of "Perfect Way to Die," it was quite an emotional night. What else went down at the 2020 BET Awards? Where can I watch Beyoncé's Humanitarian Awards speech? Here's everything you need to know!

WHAT IS THE BET HUMANITARIAN AWARD?

Every year, the BET Awards celebrates a different Black artist for their contributions to society, and this year, that honor fell to Beyoncé. In a video introducing the award winner, Michelle Obama praised Beyoncé's tremendous accomplishments, saying, "You can see it in everything she does, from her music that gives voice to Black joy and Black pain, to her activism that demands justice for Black lives."

WHERE CAN I WATCH THE BEYONCE HUMANITARIAN AWARD BET SPEECH?

While BET has released many of last night's performances on their YouTube page, Beyoncé's acceptance speech is notably absent. But of course, this is where the Beyhive comes in: fans were quick to rip the speech and post it on Twitter, where it immediately went viral.

ALICIA KEYS BET PERFORMANCE 2020: HOW TO WATCH

Elsewhere in the show, Alicia Keys commanded the stage with the first-ever live performance of "Perfect Way to Die." Keys' song paid tribute to the many Black Americans who have been killed by police, including George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. Watch Alicia Keys' BET Awards performance below.

FIGHT THE POWER: BET AWARDS GETS STAR-STUDDED REMIX OF PUBLIC ENEMY CLASSIC

And who could forget Public Enemy's new remix of anti-police anthem "Fight the Power?" Public Enemy recruited a host of Black talent, including Nas and Black Thought, for a new take on their 1989 hit, and it's a rendition fans won't soon forget.

WHY DID MARSAI MARTIN'S BET AWARDS LOOK GO VIRAL?

Unfortunately, the 2020 BET Awards weren't all positive. Shortly before the awards, actress Marsai Martin shared a photo of her poolside awards show look, an all-yellow number. After presenting the Best Female Hip Hop artist award, viewers began criticizing Martin's outfit, as well as her blonde wig and braces.

The 15-year-old quickly shut down the ridiculous backlash, tweeting, "Sorry some of y'all don't like my hair. Or teeth … Good thing I don't put my effort into trying to please everyone."

Good for you, girl!

Beyoncé releases surprise new song, Black Parade, on Juneteenth - BBC News

Beyoncé has released a surprise new song, Black Parade, hours after announcing a new initiative to support black-owned businesses.

The track includes powerful lyrics about black history, police brutality and the George Floyd protests.

"Put your fists up in the air, show black love," sings the star. "Need peace and reparation for my people."

The song was released on Juneteenth, a holiday marking the official end of slavery in the US.

The celebration originated in Beyoncé's home state of Texas but is now celebrated annually on 19 June throughout the US, with varying degrees of official recognition, sometimes under the names Emancipation Day or Black Independence Day.

Black Parade is Beyoncé's first solo release since last year's Homecoming, a live album and documentary covering her blockbuster performance at Coachella in 2018; and The Lion King: The Gift, which accompanied Disney's live action remake of its classic animation.

"I'm going back to the South, where my roots ain't watered down," she sings as the song opens.

The lyrics go on to reference the Covid-19 pandemic ("Fly on the runway in my hazmat"), police brutality ("Rubber bullets bouncing off me") and Tamika Mallory, a prominent activist in the Women's March and Black Lives Matter movements.

Warning: The following song contains explicit language.

The track appeared on streaming services shortly after the star launched Black Parade Route, an online directory of black-owned businesses selling everything from fashion and beauty products to home furnishings and coffee.

"Being Black is your activism. Black excellence is a form of protest. Black joy is your right," wrote the singer on a tagline on her website.

According to the site, the initiative will benefit the star's BeyGOOD's Black Business Impact Fund, which "support[s] Black-owned small businesses in need."

"Happy Juneteenth Weekend! I hope we continue to share joy and celebrate each other, even in the midst of struggle," said the star in an Instagram post announcing the launch.

"Please continue to remember our beauty, strength and power."

Beyoncé has been vocal throughout the the anti-racism protests sparked in May by the death of George Floyd.

In a video on her Instagram, she said she felt "broken and disgusted" and demanded justice for Mr Floyd, who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes.

"No more senseless killings of human beings," she said. "No more seeing people of colour as less than human. We can no longer look away."

"Continue to pray for peace and compassion and healing for our country.

Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Michelle Obama and more stars give advice to the class of 2020 that we could all take right about now - HOLA USA

Posted: 08 Jun 2020 03:02 PM PDT

 Queen Bey  also took a moment to address the graduating class of 2020 by praising and thanking them "for using your collective voice and letting the world know that Black Lives Matter." The superstar continued, "We've seen that our collective hearts when put to positive action could start the wheels of change. Real change has started with you, this new generation of high school and college graduates who we celebrate today."

 Barack  and  Michelle Obama  each gave a separate speech, but they also came together for a joint address. "We want you to know that all the work you've put in to get your education is still one of the best investments you could make. We've seen it for decades," said the former POTUS. "Go ahead and do a little dance – a cool dance," added his wife Michelle.

 Lady Gaga  was another who joined the list of A-listers in congratulating students for their achievements while encouraging them to take action. The Chromatica artist used nature as an analogy to explain systemic racism and compared it to "a broad forest filled densely with tall trees."

"This forest is where we live. But in this moment, all of us are being invited to challenge that system and think about how to affect real change... it's you who are the seeds of the future," she pointed. "You are the seeds that will grow into a new and different forest that is far more beautiful and loving than the one we live in today."

Mom-to-be Katy Perry dressed her baby bump in a single-sleeve white dress and made the ceremony official by leading graduates into moving their tassels from left to right. "The time has come! Lets turn those tassels and make it kind of official. Whether you've got a real cap and a tassel or an iPhone charger taped to a pizza box, this is the moment for everyone around the globe to graduate at once. No matter where you are, remember: The tassel goes from right to left," she assured.

Katy then broke into a song by performing her new hit Daisies and her 2010 classic Firework.
