Did the various artists change up the lyrics for Wrote My Way Out? To me, the best tracks have been Immigrants and My Shot because they aren't straight covers."

Yes. Wrote My Way Out is pretty much a whole new song, like Immigrants.

here's wait for it!

"Wrote My Way Out" is one of my favorites so far. Perfect way to transform a song.

"Wait for It" is one that should've been remixed more. There's no point in doing a straight up cover of the song when Usher's vocals don't really come close to Leslie's. If they would've adjusted the lyrics it could've been turned into a top 40 hit.

"Wrote My Way Out" just hit me with a wave of emotion.

HELPLESS IS EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED OUT OF LIFE.

I think it's canny marketing that they're including both fairly faithful covers, and original 'inspired-by' songs on this album. Established Hamilton fans will buy this regardless, but Hamilton novices who give the album a try because they love Busta Rhymes or whoever, might get to know and love the faithful covers as well, and then seek out the original versions. Not that the show needs more fans, but still.

They were doing the preview event at the Rodgers today with the live stream.



I thought that Andra Day's "Burn" was fab.

I actually wasn't that impressed with Andra Day's performance. I've listened to a few of her songs before and loved her voice, but it didn't sound that great during her performance IMO.

most songs on itunes can be purchased separately

i just finished listening to the mixtape an hour ago and i thoroughly enjoyed it. highlights for me were Burn, Say Yes to This, History Has Its Eyes On You, Satisfied, It's Quiet Uptown, Congratulations and both Dear Theodosias.

Are you in the US? The album will be released in midnight in your time zone; after that you'll be able to preview/buy what you want.

ah sorry mac i didn't mean to imply i used itunes to listen, anakela is right about it being released at midnight in the US. i finagled my way onto Australian spotify and listened to the mixtape there.

Jill. Effing. Scott.

WOW.
