"Mood 4 Eva" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, Childish Gambino & Oumou Sangaré, and was chosen as a promotional single for her 2019 curated soundtrack album The Lion King: The Gift.
Beyonce and Jay-Z lyrically pay homage to Yoruba deity Oshun, Queen of Sheba, Mansa Musa, Muhammad Ali, Nas, and The Notorious B.I.G., among others.
"[5] Rap-Up described the song as a "triumphant [standout of the album]",[6] while Eric Deggans of NPR Music echoed a similar sentiment.
[7] The visual was met with critical acclaim, lauded for its "colorful, lavish display[s] featuring designer looks, vibrant scenery, high-class jewels, and top-shelf champagne.
"[8] Directed by Dikayl Rimmasch, cinematographer Santiago Gonzalez described the idea for the video as "portraying a carefree lifestyle with a dreamscape harkening back to old Hollywood... culminating in a Busby Berkeley-style aqua-musical fantasy" in an interview with Variety.
