Beyoncé, Donald Glover in perfect harmony on new release of 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight'


We've been waiting to hear the full-length song of Beyoncé and Donald Glover's “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” since Disney released a teaser clip back in June

It is time, as Rafiki would say. 

The super-powered duet is now available to stream on the official "Lion King" soundtrack, which arrived Thursday, a week before the movie's official release on July 19. 

To our delight, Bey and Glover's version, which also features Billy Eichner (voice of Timon) and Seth Rogen (voice of Pumbaa), does justice to Elton John’s beloved original. It's a faithful rendition made all the better sung by such talent.    

Along with remade favorites from the original 1994 animated film, the new soundtrack features "Spirit," the Beyoncé song that debuted at the film's Hollywood premiere Tuesday. 

The new single, which is featured during a pivotal scene with an adult Simba (Donald Glover) and Nala (Beyoncé) in the new movie, will also be featured on the additional "Lion King" album "The Lion King: The Gift," executive-produced by Beyoncé and out July 19.
