It’s amazing to come back to such an incredible movie that’s full of power and meaning, and that meaning holds the test of time: staying true to yourself, being who you are, and teaching how to be fearless.
"The film Mulan and the song ‘Reflection’ coincided with getting me my first record deal.
Speaking about her new release, Aguilera said the song is special to her because the animated Mulan film, originally released in 1998, helped launch her career. "Should I ask myself in the water what a warrior would do? Tell me underneath my armor am I loyal, brave, and true?" she continues in the chorus.
All for my family, the reason I'm breathing, everything to lose," Aguilera sings in the opening verse. Flash forward to March 6, and Aguilera dropped "Loyal Brave True." The emotional ballad not only showcases Aguilera's powerhouse vocals, but it also reflects Mulan's character struggle. Christina Aguilera's "Loyal Brave True" lyrics will make you feel so many things.Īfter Disney released the first Mulan teaser in July 2019, fans wondered if Aguilera would be involved in the movie's soundtrack. The singer recorded the film's iconic theme song, "Reflection," at only 16 years old and, now, to celebrate the upcoming release of its live-action adaptation, Aguilera shared a new song called "Loyal Brave True" that perfectly embodies the film's message. Mulan will debut as an exclusive premiere access film on Disney+ on September 4, 2020.Disney's Mulan will forever hold a special place in Christina Aguilera's heart. Yifei Liu as Mulan Donnie Yen as Commander Tung Tzi Ma as Zhou, Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan Yoson An as Honghui Ron Yuan as Sergeant Qiang with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. The film is directed by Niki Caro from a screenplay by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Elizabeth Martin & Lauren Hynek based on the narrative poem “The Ballad of Mulan.” “Mulan” features a celebrated international cast that includes: Yifei Liu as Mulan Donnie Yen as Commander Tung Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan Yoson An as Cheng Honghui with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Here’s the official plot synopsis for Mulan There’s even a music video for that, which features more of an orchestral set up as opposed to the dark and moody room seen in Aguilera’s version. It’s important to point out that when we first saw Mulan back in March, Liu could be heard singing her own rendition of Reflection in Mandrian. And rather than the hip blouse and jacket combo, there is an elegant dress.Īesthetics aside, the performance is more powerful than its predecessor in terms of delivery. Flash forward to today, you can see that the new music video was shot in a dark room. Back then, a portion of the Reflection music video was shot on location at the China Pavilion at Epcot. The major differences between this music video and her 1998 one is the production design, costumes, and, of course, the live-action of Yifei Liu as Mulan. I guess only Aguilera is accomplishing such a task. Though the lyrics haven’t changed, it feels slightly improved but still reverent of the original. Disney has released the full music video of Christina Aguilera’s new rendition of “ Reflection,” which can be heard on the forthcoming live-action adaptation of Mulan.
