Reflection is the first single song that Aguilera recorded commercially. Aguilera's return to the film is certainly a pleasant news.
On the other hand, the song Loyal Brave True was written and produced by Jamie Hartmann, Harry Gregson-Williams, Rosi Golan, and Billy Crabtree. Gregson-Williams co-produced the song Reflection.
“It's wonderful to come back with a film that is full of power and meaning, and that meaning holds the test of time: be yourself, teach yourself not to be afraid. My newest song, Loyal Brave True, represents a fine balance between vulnerability and strength. "
President of Walt Disney Studios, Mitchell Leib said, the selection of Christina Aguilera as the singer of the film soundtrack Mulan based on Reflection, which at that time did not enter the charts. Nonetheless, the song has become a talk and a memory throughout the Disney soundtrack.
"I think this song will touch the audience strongly where we saw 22 years ago," he said as quoted by Variety.
As the title suggests, the song Loyal Brave True features powerful lyrics that depict Mulan. “Should I ask myself in the water. What a warrior would do? Tell me underneath my armor. Am I loyal, brave, and true? " With simple instruments and Aguilera's signature voice, this song sounds mighty.
Meanwhile, Walt Disney Studios released a special look video for Mulan accompanied by the song Loyal Brave True. Previously, Aguilera sang this song at the Disney D23 Expo in 2019.
The live action version of Mulan tells the story of Mulan's (Liu Yifei) struggle to replace her father fighting against invaders from north in China. Because she was a woman, Mulan decided to disguise herself as a man. Mulan will air March 25 simultaneously worldwide. While waiting for the film to air, you can listen to Loyal Brave True here:
