Christina Aguilera releases new song from 'Mulan' soundtrack
She's also recorded a new version of "Reflection."
Christina Aguilera has recorded not one but two songs for the new live-action remake of "Mulan." One is an updated version of "Reflection," the song she originally recorded for the soundtrack of the 1998 animated version, and the other is a brand-new song called "Loyal Brave True."
"The film 'Mulan' and the song ‘Reflection’ coincided with getting me my first record deal," said Aguilera, in a statement. "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."
She adds, "My new song, ‘Loyal Brave True,’ represents the fine balance between vulnerability and strength.”
The song reflects -- pun intended -- Mulan's self-doubt, as Aguilera sings, "Should I ask myself in the water / What a warrior would do? / Tell me underneath my armor / Am I loyal, brave, and true?"
"Loyal Brave True" is available now. The entire "Mulan" soundtrack arrives on March 25. "Mulan" is in theaters on March 27.
