The album features live renditions of her hits including Crazy In Love, Formation, Sorry, Drunk In Love, Run The World (Girls) and Love On Top, as well as the Destiny’s Child tracks Say My Name, Soldier and Bug A Boo.

Fans have reacted with enthusiasm about the documentary on Twitter, with A Wrinkle In Time director Ava DuVernay writing: “Gah! This has been my favorite thing for a whole year now.
“I can watch it on repeat and never, ever get tired. So much to see. So many moves to try in one’s mirror. If one were so inclined.”
