Captivating
generations of Disney fans, “Reflection” has been a powerful ballad that breathed
life into the narrative of Disney’s “Mulan.” Written and produced by Matthew
Wilder and David Zippel, "Reflection" holds a special place in the
hearts of many Filipinos for decades.
Just
as much the 2020 reimagined version of Mulan is set to release in Philippine cinemas
in a few weeks, Disney Philippines introduces a new voice to Mulan’s iconic
song as it connects to today’s generation of Disney fans. Deemed as the most streamed Filipina
artist, Disney
Philippines has collaborated with Moira de la Torre on a localized version of
the film’s most endeared song, “Reflection.”
Attendees
during the listening party were among the first to hear Moira’s rendition of
“Reflection” and were also given a special sneak peek into the upcoming music
video.
When
asked how Moira felt when she discovered that Disney is tapping her to sing “Reflection”
for fans in the Philippines, the songstress said, “I became very emotional, because
‘Reflection’ is very special to me. It’s the first-ever song I performed in
public, and also the first full song that I learned on my
own. It
basically launched my love for music.”
Moira
also shared how the song perfectly reflects
how her life has been. “It's funny how it speaks about self-doubt and
questioning who you see on the mirror every day. That's basically me, but every
time I feel that happening now, I feel braver. This
song came back at a perfect time in my life, and I could only be happy and
grateful."
To
her, being able to give justice to the iconic song would be a great honor,
knowing how this can inspire and empower today’s generation of young Filipino
girls.
Disney’s “Mulan” arrives in Philippine theaters on March 25, 2020. Join the
