Page "Mulan" Paragraph 37

Mulan features a score by Jerry Goldsmith and five songs by Matthew Wilder ( music ) and David Zippel ( lyrics ), with a sixth originally planned for Mushu, but dropped following Eddie Murphy's involvement with the character.

The movie's soundtrack is credited for starting the career of pop singer Christina Aguilera, whose first song to be released in the U. S. was her rendition of " Reflection ", the first single from the Mulan soundtrack.

The song, and Aguilera's vocals, were so well received that it landed her a recording contract with RCA records.

In 1999, she would go on to release her self-titled debut album, on which Reflection was also included.

As well as her own, the pop version of Reflection has 2 Spanish translations, because the movie has separate Spanish translations for Spain ( performed by Malú ) and Latin America ( performed by Lucero ).

Other international versions include a Brazilian Portuguese version by Sandy & Junior (" Imagem "), a Korean version performed by Lena Park and a Mandarin version by Coco Lee.
