Kelly Clarkson has covered “It’s Quiet Uptown” from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smash hit Hamilton and it’s devastatingly beautiful.<\/p>\n

The track is just one of many on Miranda’s ‘Hamilton Mixtape’, an album of covers and re-workings of songs from Hamilton<\/em> by popular artists.<\/p>\n

The full tracklist was released on Thursday. The album is currently available for pre-order.<\/p>\n

Social media reactions to Clarkson’s rendition of “It’s Quiet Uptown” could best be summed up as #UglyCry.<\/p>\n

Dear @kelly_clarkson<\/a>, your ‘Quiet Uptown’ ranks a full ten on the scale of perfect ugly cries. Thank you (and you, @Lin_Manuel<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Clarkson shared that she recorded the song while pregnant with her son, saying it was one of the hardest things she has ever done in her life.<\/p>\n

Recording It’s Quiet Uptown while being pregnant with my son was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. 😳😩 #HamiltonMixtape<\/a><\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, “It’s Quiet Uptown” is about Alexander Hamilton trying to cope with the death of his son, going through “the unimaginable.”<\/p>\n
