25 years ago, a generation of children watched two animated lions fall in passionate and steamy love, while a cartoon meerkat and warthog peeped on in despair. \u201cCan You Feel The Love Tonight<\/a>\u201d soundtracked the intimate moment. Among the unimpeachable bangers Elton John and Tim Rice cooked up for The Lion King<\/a><\/em>, the romantic duet between Simba and Nala was at the top. Then Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> happened \u2014 and when Beyonc\u00e9 happens, you let her do whatever she wants. Instead of adding more bombast or bravado, the 2019 update of \u201cCan You Feel The Love Tonight\u201d wisely adheres to the 1994 version. Predictably, Bey\u2019s voice anchors the song as it softly delivers the iconic lyrics before soaring into a crescendo, with Donald Glover<\/a> tagging along.<\/p>\n

During a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em>, Glover joked that he was too intimidated<\/a> to sing in the same room as Beyonc\u00e9. \u201cI requested not to be,\u201d Glover said. \u201cI did not want to be looking into Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s eyes while doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI imagine it\u2019s less intimidating playing basketball with Michael Jordan if you\u2019re at home just throwing pieces of paper in the trash,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

In addition to \u201cCan You Feel The Love Tonight,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9 is also executive producing and curating an album inspired by the film called The Gift<\/em>. \u201cThis is sonic cinema,\u201d she said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cThis is a new experience of storytelling. I wanted to do more than find a collection of songs that were inspired by the film. It is a mixture of genres and collaboration that isn\u2019t one sound. It is influenced by everything from R&B, hip-hop and Afro Beat.\u201d<\/p>\n
