Thus, the soundtrack really plays like a Mann solo album, rich in vocal and lyrical nuances that probe aspects of the psyche that aren't normally probed in a pop record. And I've gone out with that kind of character too." She's someone who is very defended against other people. Mann can relate to Anderson's characters, including Claudia, a cocaine addict and a pivotal figure in "Magnolia." "I've been that character, minus the cocaine.

The same kind of characters he writes about are the same sort of characters I write about." But we were kind of talking about the same kinds of things.

Mostly, there's pressure on directors to make a deal with the record company and use whatever acts the record company is trying to push in the movie and on the soundtrack." "I don't think a lot of directors do that anyway. "I've had songs here and there on soundtracks, but I've never had my songs utilized in such an integral way," Mann says of her "Magnolia" experience.

When he likes something, he really, really likes it," says Mann, who has another solo album, "Bachelor Number 2," due out in February. She first met the director three years ago when he asked her husband, Michael Penn, to write songs for Anderson's first film, "Hard Eight." That inspired a friendship that's now a mutual admiration society. Mann endured record-label hassles that meant distribution woes for her solo discs, "Whatever" (1993) and "I'm With Stupid" (1996), but she's found a patron in Anderson. Mann's spotlight music in "Magnolia" (one song, "Wise Up," is sung by the entire cast, voicing different lyrics in a montage) is expected to jump-start her career, which has been in limbo for most of the '90s.

He writes: "All stories for the movie were written branching off of Claudia, so one could do the math and realize that all stories come from Aimee's brain, not mineā¦ You can look at the movie as the perfect memento to remember the songs that Aimee has made." In Anderson's liner notes, he confesses that he ripped off a verse from Mann's "Deathly" ("Now that I've met you, would you object to never seeing me again?") for the character Claudia, played by Laura Wilson.
