My main hope for this is "Brown Skin Girl" becomes a massive hit, so I never have to see Wizkid's entire career summarized as "Drake’s 'One Dance' collaborator" again

i don't really care about it being a 'copy' of the black panther soundtrack - doing a film tie-in compilation/soundtrack album with more effort put into the curation and production than usual isn't really some wildly innovative idea. with the success of the black panther soundtrack i'm not at all surprised that others are doing something similar. there's not really a reason it needs to exist and i'd much rather a beyonce-does-afropop album as its own thing but since it does exist i'm glad it's quite good. it certainly seems to be by far the best thing related to the lion king remake.
"find your way", "jara ara e", "brown skin girl" and "my power" are the highlights

Was toying with that idea as well. Mind if I start it, or are you on it already?

Whoomp, there it is: the LiON KiNG: the GiFT <<>> where Beyoncé meets with Afropop
