THE LION KING: 'Shadowland' performed by Janique Charles

Listen to this special acoustic arrangement of 'Shadowland' performed by Janique Charles (Nala) from the London production

[@kateburns9011]

So happy for Janique. Starting in the ensemble, and then playing Nala. She’s such a big inspiration

[@aznSeddie]

Endless chills with this number, no matter which Nala sings it.

[@isaiahadams1208]

aznSeddie True that. Me too

[@Alphawolf2017]

So true

Except Beyonce lol

[@ruinned]

I used to listen to The Lion King on Broadway religiously on Spotify. This was my favorite song next to He Lives In You. To see this recording is just.. everything.

[@92positivelyemerald]

Wow. She slayed this. Although it feels a bit incomplete without the choral background, but she was so good I’m not even mad haha.

[@maholly2893]

Her voice really impressed me a lot. No matter how well she sing, she put lots of emotions into this song.

[@ellieeweaver1213]

I played Nala in the Lion King JR and this song is so hard. This was so beautiful! Major props to her!!! It was amazing!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@movieandtvseriesclips2805]

This song should be in the remake version

[@elizabethjammeh]

Movie and Tvseries clips I can imagine beyonce slaying this song

[@julianrobbel4118]

Also "He lives in you" must be in!

[@ruinned]

No disrespect to Beyonce but the Broadway show itself just had that extra depth when a majority of the cast had natural African accents. I would love to relive that with the movie cast.

[@elizabethjammeh]

Roo yeah that is true

[@graceward6105]

Movie and Tvseries clips sung by Beyonce! Yessssss

[@Anita21072]

Watched this incredible show yesterday with my daughter and we were both blown away with Janique’s performance…wow, what a beautiful powerful voice

[@llamaparty8441]

I adore the lion king. I went to go see it on broadway as a child and I remember how amazing it made me feel emotionally. My jt school did it last year for their musical. And I was on makeup. And ALL I WOULD SING WOULD BE THIS SONG ! And back stage, this was such a bop

[@younice9707]

What a beautiful performance, from a beautiful woman ❤️

[@isabelgonzalez2287]

This song always makes me cry 😪 It's so beautiful. 💕

[@rachels.1537]

My school is doing the lion king and I’m older nala too! Nothing in comparison to her this is beautiful!! Wish me luck

[@loskerry2675]

How did it go? And good luck😂

[@bossa-c1f]

Yay good luck

[@PupRiku]

I finally got to see the show on Wednesday after wanting to see it since I was a child. Janique was unbelievable. This song had every hair on my body standing on end, so powerful and so beautiful. What an incredible voice.

[@Jamylitablossoms]

So many goosebumps just listening to this! But when I heard it live for my 21st birthday a couple years ago it sent shivers down my spine!! This whole show is amazing and I’m so lucky that I was able to experience it!!❤️❤️

[@elizabethk2527]

HER VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL OMG IM SH O O K

[@wilfredosanchezjr.7664]

This is by far the most beautiful piece of art I have observed in a LONG while. Magnificent!

[@marianhernandez2009]

This song, oh my goodness, it's pore raising, Janique, that voice

[@JonoEMz]

I saw the show and man I got goosebumps when I heard this song 😍

[@Amandafloresoficial]

I love this song 😍😍😍😍

[@graceward6105]

She has so much power at the end and I love how understated she is. Ahghhghs love this so much.

[@egiptomusic]

Love her voice, but think that the choir that stand's behind is the real heart of the song, without it, looses his power

[@cdc8875]

I agree.....she needs her "pride" singing in the background. They're part of who she is no matter where she goes.

[@cdc8875]

This version is really pretty too though. Would love to download it.

[@xBlacksStarx]

Yea I agree, what made the song haunting was the chorus of lionesses repeating "pride...land..." As though convincing her to stay, and her singing loudly that she had to, and them singing in support of her when she showed she had the strength for them.

[@crimbleland]

How does this not have more views??

[@windylmedario7897]

I am always listening to this very beautiful song.. and i wish i can perform being a NALA someday...

[@witchbish1809]

I hope this is in the Disney lion king live action

[@The.Lilomay]

Witch Bish same here!

[@Akatsukileader9]

Was it? haven't seen it

[@taniabrathwaite]

[@thobaniballantynemjiyakho6403]

I dont think this is healthy, the amount of times I’ve rewatched this video 🤔 Janique killed this song 🔥🔥

[@maniunknown0]

I love this musical!!!!!!!! I love her voice

[@georgenewsome4345]

I seen the lion king on Broadway twice already 1 time in Las Vegas in 2009 with my grandma and my aunt and 2nd time in Milwaukee with my mom and my sister few years ago this song makes me think of my grandma she's very sick now she went to hospice now. I'm sad I wish she won't die. but I know she probly will in like a week

[@Anyawolf24]

THIS COVER OF LION KING ARE JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!! I need omg 🔥

[@maggiemoran7747]

Very nice, but I will forever think the original Heather Headley version is the best. I have listened to it in my car 2,000 times with volume cranking. So powerful.

[@gugudlamini1921]

woooooow beautiful!!.

[@ivantheterrible2594]

Why wasn't this song in the live-action remake of the Lion King?

[@mariaemiliaaguilarrivero2372]

Best Nala Perfomance Ever!

[@Louise-of6oe]

Amazing 😱 so inspirational 😢👌

[@blackcupine8833]

This should be the African American anthem right now

[@khamikins]

come thru Trini !

[@bvcchio]

she has a AMAZING Voice like if u agree

[@isacromwell]

Wow

[@Haruki_chan]

Wonderful ❤️❤️ omg

[@ginonovanta]

It's very said that almost surely beyonce won't sing this in the live action version

[@thesoulboss5651]

Why?

[@ginonovanta]

Like all live actions before they are not going to include broadway songs

[@MrAkardashian]

IF BEYONCÉ KNEW WHAT WAS GOOD FOR HER SHE WOULD SING THIS BECAUSE NALA ONLY HAD TWO SONGS

[@carlycchapman]

I read somewhere that this was gonna be in the live action, but I don't remember where

[@artofjuliekukreja9877]

I'm trying out for nala any tips I'm so nervous

[@princessbway8760]

I’m auditioning for Nala for a theatre company, anyone have any good audition songs that would suit Nala? Xoxo

[@Shumbalion]

That’s a really nice performance of the song, but I really notice when the background singers are missing. The reinforcement effect is just gone making it feel a lot lighter. While that may be the effect desired, I would have loved to hear this with the reinforcement also. If not by additional background vocalists then by a follow in the instrumental of a similar tone. I may sound picky, but it’s the nature of this song. The lioness is leaving her pride to find help, so for a pure solo performance it breaks the nature as lions are together and splitting. To put it simply - who is she singing to? The backing singers in the original, relate to the pride and leaving them behind, it’s a group decision and the emotional situation is more understandable. So a follow up in the instrumental would have been a good option if you wanted a clear solo vocal. Either way, simply stunning vocals and a nice performance. The camera work is also quite well done.

[@jmakke]

Nos I understand why they cast Beyoncé for Nala... all makes sense

[@AtlCinderella80]

Jon Mark Akke yes, they definitely seeked her out for the music

[@norththeatre3737]

She's gonna do this song so good i can't wait

[@Priderockstarlion]

Is this for the Live action 2019 Lion King????? OMG I NEED TO WATCH IT WHEN IT COMES OUT

[@SolRS18]

It's for the London production of the Broadway show. But boy do I hope it's in the Live-Action!

[@jerardperry7901]

That's our SiS

[@junglemasterred3015]

She a fantastic singer and actress, but i got one question. How long does all that make up take to put on? And does that lion mask/helmet thing ever make your neck hurt?

[@daniellacanas7815]

I don’t know shadowland wasn’t in the movie. But it should’ve been

[@MarianaGarciaGrijalva]

I love it omg

[@birch4309]

Please can this be released on Spotify or some platform?

[@leonardbudke6407]

[@CarolinaMouse]

Love this

[@crashban4t.f.s.b783]

This should have been in the remake.

[@MissRH-1997]

Amazing

[@alexafelix3414]

Is there a way to get this backing track to use as a karaoke? I have been trying to find a karaoke version of this song that only needs the soloist and I love the acoustic arrangement of this song.
