A few familiar voices from the original 1994 soundtrack make a return this around. Most notably are Hans Zimmer, Lebohang “Lebo M.” Morake and Elton John, the latter musician taking a step back from his original role as lead music composer — he still receives writing creds for majority of the tracks — in favor of a sole song titled “Never Too Late.” Surprises come by way of vocal contributions from John Oliver, Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen, who’ve each proven to be comedic performers on TV and film but haven’t truly shown off their musical side. Chiwetel Ejiofor, who proved his vocal chops with the 2005 film adaptation of Kinky Boots, will sing Scar’s classic tune “Be Prepared,” a song that many weren’t even sure would appear in the remake.

The most anticipated tracks are of course those from the film’s stars Donald Glover and Beyoncé, who in addition to the aforementioned duet will also pop up on other songs. Glover will join Eichner, Rogen and Young Simba (JD McCrary) on the fan-favorite cut “Hakuna Matata,” meanwhile Queen Bey is rumored to be the featured singer on the 14th track currently listed as “TBA.” A recent article by Fandango exclusively reports via an interview with director Jon Favreau that it’ll be an entirely new song written by Beyoncé with guidance from Hans and Lebo M. However it turns out, we’re sure she’ll be the soundtrack’s standout.

Pre-order the soundtrack for Disney’s upcoming remake of The Lion King right now on Amazon, and expect it to arrive on the same day as the film’s theatrical release on July 19.
