"What is a visual album? Simply put, visual albums are linked music videos or films released in conjunction with a record. Visual albums add context and depth to lyrics and music, giving fans a more immersive experience. While visual albums have been around since The Beatles, there's one person to thank for their recent resurgence: Beyoncé.

It was the 2016 release of Beyoncé's visual album Lemonade, released to accompany the music, that brought visual albums back into the pop mainstream. Now, Beyoncé is set to release another visual album on Disney+, a companion to the 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift.
