The highly anticipated remake of 'The Lion King' is due to reach a cinema near you and along with it comes the film sountrack.
Elton John teamed up with lyricist Tim Rice once again to record a brand new track called 'Never Too Late'. The duo first collaborated to produce the soundtrack for the original animated 1994 film and have won Oscar and Grammy awards for their contributions.
The soundtrack for the new remake features a number of re-recorded tracks of John and Rice's music by the new artists who are playing in the film. That includes Beyoncé and Donald Glover performing a duet on 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight'. There's also a number of orchestral pieces by the famous composer, Hans Zimmer.
