So I don't think I did the before bed blog yesterday... ugh.
Anyway I wanted to talk about when something that you like just kind of becomes readily available in like a surplus. This is especially true right now if you happen to love Hamilton.
Don't get me wrong, Hamilton is Amazing... but unless you saw the play... there wasn't all that much to go with it for a while. I still LOVE it and listen to it or reference it in some way every single day pretty much...but there wasn't a whole lot to it until recently.
First off is the Leslie Odom, Jr. Christmas cd Simply Christmas. I'm so excited about this. How can anyone not be excited about an Aaron Burr Christmas album! He is a really amazing singer and I just think its awesome that he's singing Christmas songs. That comes out this week! (and if you get it from his website, you can get a signed copy!)
And there is the Moana soundtrack... which I'm also really excited about! You can pre-order it on apple music and iTunes now and listen to a preview. The preview isn't from Lin Manuel Miranda, but it is really good! And the song on the previews makes me want to cry. I'm sure he's going to EGOT this year. I think all he needs is the Oscar... but, it will be awesome that he gets pretty much all of this in a year!
And the Hamilton Mixtape... which I'm not going to lie... I have some mixed feelings about. I think its going to be great... but I didn't love the Kelly Clarkson song on the preorder download. Its not that it wasn't good... and I knew she wasn't singing as a character or anything... but the song Kelly Clarkson has is It's Quiet Uptown... which is probably the most emotional song in the entire play. And I just didn't get the same thing from Clarkson that I did from the original song. It isn't bad... but that song is pretty sacred to me and it was just so different. I loved the version of My Shot from the Roots with Busta Rhimes though... it was just different but more relatable. Maybe Kelly Clarkson's version is also more relatable... I didn't think so though. It was still good... just different.
And I think that is it. Other than the Hamilton Book with the song lyrics, which is new to me and the PBS special... there is a lot for me to enjoy before seeing the musical in January.
That is it... has this ever happened to you? Where you really like something and then more things make it so that you can enjoy it in different ways? Do you love Hamilton as much as I do? Let me know!
