Speaking on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, the "Spirit" singer described "The Lion King: The Gift" as a love letter to Africa. Emphasising that she wanted to collaborate with this best talent from Africa and not only use the sound from the continent and interpreting it her way. Aiming to create an authentic sound using African artists in conjunction with American producers and in the end creating their own genre.
