SOUNDTRACK SAMPLES

NEW TLK SOUNDTRACK MUSIC, SHADOWLAND IS INCLUDED(NOTE-I dont think its the official, I think its only a recording)
In my opinion im not sure if I can get used to this, because change is hard, and well it doesnt seem very African with out Lebo M's elements.

I don’t think this is real.

Most music scores are completed a month or two before the movie releases are they not?

The account that posted them linked to various official disney accounts that mention nothing of these songs.

My conclusion? They are well done fan cover songs.

I just noticed something. The image of simba on the videos is different from trailer simba. Trailer simba is bulkier and the one in the links has no tail.

Yeah, it's probably fake. The sound palette doesn't quite match current Zimmer and it has a cheap synth-y quality to it.

More tip offs are the "This Land" and "To Die For" tracks. In the original album, the instrumental score tracks were all medleys/suites made up of multiple cues from different parts of the movie edited together, not single compositions for each of them. The reason being that, until recently with the Legacy Collections, Disney never really bothered dedicating whole albums to complete scores, offering snippets of the work instead. It's unlikely that the remake's OST release would just happen to get the exact same kind of medley edits for its new soundtrack.

It's most likely fake. I would absolutely love it if they include "Shadowland" in the remake, but that is definitely not Beyoncé's voice. While it does sound like her, the audio sounds like a recording of a cast member playing adult Nala singing "Shadowland" during a performance of The Lion King stage musical. Also keep in mind, Rafiki is portrayed as a female during the musical and sings some Zulu as she blesses Nala to go on her journey, which I definitely hear. If it was audio from the remake, surely the voice would be masculine.

Ok ok, so literally its another dont believe everything you hear online thing here, so who and how could someone have put these tracks together to trick or fool other fans?

People do it all the time, especially on YouTube. I specifically remember there being score "leaks" for Black Panther a full year or so before the movie actually came out. As far as I'm aware, the soundtrack and/or score for most big movies (at least Disney-released ones) as of late tend to be released within a month from the film's actual premiere.

It's definitely nice to listen to but there's little doubt in my mind that these are mostly spliced and/or re-keyed versions of a variety of different tracks, primarily from Broadway recordings; not to mention that Beyoncé's song (presumably for Nala) is an original piece, so it doesn't really make a lot of sense for "Shadowland" to be on the soundtrack. (Also, that double prechorus in "King of Pride Rock" is nice but it strikes me as a very amateur decision on part of whoever arranged it.)

It's called clickbait. People do it all the time to get more views. For the "Shadowland" "leak", someone could have easily pull out their smartphone and recorded audio of the cast members singing the song. There is a lot of feedback sound on the video and even a leaked demo of a studio recording sounds more polished.

As for the score "leaks", someone could have remixed the orchestration.

from what i’ve read on a hans zimmer fb group some of these are audio recordings from his various tours.
