Solo qualche giorno fa abbiamo potuto finalmente ascoltare per la prima volta una delle tracce più attese di Il Re Leone 2019 colonna sonora del remake. Nell’ultimo spot uscito, infatti, Beyoncé e Donald Glover cantano nei panni di Nala e Simba il brano Can You Feel The Love Tonight? vincitore dell’Oscar. 

Ora Disney ha svelato l’intera tracklist di Il Re Leone 2019 colonna sonora che, proprio come nel classico del 1994, è stata affidata ad Hans Zimmer per quanto riguarda le tracce strumentali e ad Elton John e Tim Rice (con la collaborazione dell’artista africano Lebo M) per quanto riguarda le canzoni. 

Come possiamo notare dalla tracklist, la colonna sonora seguirà piuttosto fedelmente quella del film originale: sono infatti presenti tutte le canzoni, compresa quella cantata da Scar, ovvero Be Prepared (in italiano Sarò Re). Ma ci sono anche alcune novità. Nei titoli di coda infatti ascolteremo Never Too Late, un brano originale composto e cantato da Elton John, e He Lives In You, canzone scritta originariamente per Il Re Leone del 1994, poi scartata e utilizzata successivamente nel sequel Il Re Leone 2 – Il regno di Simba e nel musical di Broadway.

La track 14, infine, è ancora segreta. Si tratta probabilmente dell’assolo di Beyoncé nei panni della leonessa Nala, quindi una seconda canzone inedita, che sarà svelata in seguito.
