    Beyoncé, mais uma vez, elevando o nível da excelência. The Gift é uma verdadeira obra de arte a qual só pode ser feita por uma única artista.

    Adorei a sonoridade africana, Beyoncé não mentiu. Bem conceitual. Ótimo instrumental e vocais.

    Beyoncé consegue mais uma vez nos surpreender e emocionar. Explorando diferentes estilos musicais ela constrói gradativamente a alma do projeto e nos apresenta a diversidade a seu modo mais puro. Vocais, camadas sonoras, batidas, tudo associado às belíssimas participações de artistas africanos dão vida a essa obra atemporal.

    Beyoncé has done it once again, she produced this album and curated it. This solely shows that she is still in her prime. This album reminds me that my melanin is beautiful and it’s nothing for me to be ashamed of. Beyoncé keeps outdoing herself every single project. She is Beyoncé! she is in a league of her own. A pure example of a living legend, she is the last of her kind.

    Maravilhoso, Beyoncé não ganha álbum do ano pq primeiramente existe um enorme preconceito por música afro e também vejam os outros álbuns do ano que ela perdeu, tem sempre um branco pra academia escolher no lugar dela

    Best album Ever!!! Beyoncé fez o seu próprio caminho até o topo. Uma artista que está no topo do mundo não apenas como a maior show-woman de todos os tempos, mas também como a artista cujo talento será impossível de ser superado

    A masterpiece! I say this because it was put together perfect. Everything flowed. Beyoncé is master vocalist, curator, producer, songwriter & actress. You get ALL of that between the tracks and interludes. She took her time in not only diving into the culture, but bringing artist to team up with the project. Most authentic to honor. The melodies are untouched and the message is very clear.A masterpiece! I say this because it was put together perfect. Everything flowed.

    This album takes the listener on a journey through the film and transports you to Africa with the blends of culture and drums and afrobeats. Not to mention the very positive messaging Beyoncé gives the listener. Amazing album.

    Overall, it works and is another jewel in her crown — one that she, overall, can be proud to call hers.

    Ultimately, The Gift is a deft balancing act that weighs personal songwriting flourishes and meaning with Disneycore tropes, as well as a sincere desire to celebrate the music of the African diaspora with its fundamentally commercial obligations.

    On The Lion King: The Gift, Beyoncé deftly connects a kid's flick to something bigger, honoring not only Africa and its traditions but also shifting perspective to future destiny and greatness. It's a superior statement and a lesson on how to properly execute a winning soundtrack.
