Beyonce's "Lion King" album surprises fans with an impressive collaboration with her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. The seven-year-old's participation in one track even includes a solo.

With the release of Beyonce’s new album, “The Lion King: The Gift,” fans were treated to a special surprise. One of the tracks features her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

Blue showcased her vocal skills in the song, “Brown Skin Girl.” The track which is a collaboration between the seven-year-old, her mother, WizKid, and SAINt JHN opens with Blue’s voice harmonizing with SAINt JHN’s as they sing the lyrics, “Brown skin girls, skin just like pearls, best thing in the world, never change it for anybody else.”

Blue’s participation is a testament to the strength of her parents’ genes flowing in her blood. She even earned herself a solo towards the end of the song when she recites the chorus.
