When Aguilera met with us, she didn't care that she was auditioning for a record deal she got into a performance zone that you see in artist much more mature than she is."Īfter she was asked to hit a musical note required for "Reflection", she thought that the song could be the gateway into an album deal.
She was put on this earth to sing, and I've worked with a lot of singers. When asked about the song and Aguilera, RCA executive Ron Fair commented, recording the record for about six months". I recorded the Mulan soundtrack first and then a few months later I was out in L.A. I had just turned seventeen years old, and during the same week, I just landed both. After being given the opportunity to record the theme to the 1998 film Mulan named "Reflection" it was reported she had gained a record deal with RCA Records with Aguilera saying "I landed a record deal simultaneously as I landed the Mulan soundtrack. Aguilera has performed the track on four televised performances, including at the CBS This Morning show, which saw her gain the attention of songwriter Diane Warren.Īguilera approached record label RCA, then having financial difficulties, and was told to contact Disney. An accompanying music video for the song was included on the DVD release of Mulan. The physical and radio releases of the single were limited, which resulted in the track charting only on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, at number nineteen. Aside from critical commentary, the song succeeded in funding her debut album from RCA, in addition to gaining her credibility amongst established writers and producers. After Disney representatives were impressed by her performance, they contacted Aguilera, who immediately agreed to fly to Los Angeles to spend a week recording the album.Ĭritical response for "Reflection" was mixed, with reviewers considering it a nice song, however, entirely unmemorable. In response, Aguilera recorded herself performing the Whitney Houston track, " Run to You" which featured this note. Disney at this time was looking for a performer who could perform a musical note, generally difficult for most performers, required for the track. In the months before the recording of the track, Aguilera approached RCA, which gave her the chance to record the theme song to the film Mulan. " Reflection" is a song featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 animated film Mulan, and debut single by American recording artist Christina Aguilera.
