“We have all the original songs, but there’s a song that she performed and wrote in the spirit of the production along with working with Lebo M., who’s part of it with Hans Zimmer,” Jo Favreau told Fandango. He further added, “They were all collaborating with her and helping to bring this new piece of music into a film where there’s already a very established musical personality to the piece. So it was nice of them to have them working with her to allow the new song to feel organically a part of the new production. There’s an opportunity to build upon especially the female characters of Sarabi played by Alfre Woodard and Nala played by Beyoncé that the stage play explores further.” Beyonce's Netflix Documentary 'Homecoming': Twitterati Can't Get Enough of this Celebration of Black Culture, Call the Singer a 'Queen of Excellence'
