Disney has released a brand new music video featuring the title track “Umi” from the upcoming National Geographic series, “Queens”, which has been four years in the making, “Queens” leverages cutting-edge technology to reveal surprising insights into how females in the natural world rise to power, often relying on cooperation and wisdom over brute strength to get ahead.

The series is helmed by a female-led production team from around the world — groundbreaking in the natural history space — and guided by powerful narration from award-winning actress Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “The Flood,” “Good Night Oppy”), “Queens” is bringing the natural world into focus through the female lens for the very first time. The series features matriarchies and female leaders from around the world to tell stories of sacrifice and resilience but also friendship and love.

The song is co-written and performed by Alewya, a rising London-based multihyphenate artist of Ethiopian and Egyptian heritage known for her unique brand of Middle Eastern-inspired dance-pop music. Dean Barratt is also a co-writer on the song.

Released through Disney Music Group’s Hollywood Records, the music video features powerful moments from the seven-part series, introducing viewers to six iconic worlds ruled by the fierce and formidable matriarchs of the animal QUEENdom, along with exclusive footage of Alewya recording the track in-studio.

Check out the music video below:
