Hey guys. Today's song is First Burn from Hamilton.
Okay so this is not technically in the musical Hamilton. Instead this was the first draft of a song that was actually in the musical, but it was so good that they released it as part of the Hamildrops project which is essentially the sequel to the Hamilton Mixtape. This is written by Lin Manuel Miranda, produced by Alex Lacamoire and Mike Elizondo and is sung by five actresses who all played Eliza in Hamilton at one point or another. Those actresses are Lexi Lawson, Arianna Afsar, Shoba Narayan, Rachelle Ann Go, and Julia Harriman. It's rumored that the song was redone because this one was seen as too harsh and offensive which... I guess. Eliza as a character is shown to be kind and forgiving, but even kind, forgiving people can be royally pissed off when there whole life has been stomped on. I do love Burn, which is what is in the play, but this song goes so hard that you can't help but be drawn to it. And the girls absolutely killed it in this one, so I hope you enjoy it.
Peace.
