The Ava Fabian ArchivesHamilton Mixtapeis here and will make you believe in America. Lin-Manuel Miranda's collaborative compilation of Hamilton covers features artists from various musical genres, but like the show and the country that inspired it, it brings them together.

Obviously we endorse listening to the whole thing, but if you're short on time start with these five standouts.

1. "It's Quiet Uptown" -Kelly Clarkson

Clarkson revealed that this cover was one of the most rigorous experiences she's had as a singer and "It's Quiet Uptown" is so saturated with emotion that you'll want to reach right into your screen and hold Eliza Hamilton's hand (don't).

2. "Dear Theodosia" -Regina Spektor (feat. Ben Folds)

It's hard to not believe this song was written for Spektor when you hear the quiet melancholy and hope that so aptly suit her voice. Folds chimes in just in time to break your heart -- ah, history.

3. "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)" -K'NAAN, Snow Tha Product, Riz MC, Residente

Yes, that's The Night Of's Riz Ahmed rapping sly Star Wars references between verses from K'NAAN, Snow The Product and Residente. The bilingual lyrics will kick start your patriotism and have you singing out loud by the chorus.

4. "Congratulations" -Dessa

"Youll Be Back" may be the break-up anthem in Hamilton, but Dessa takes us through shades of sass, admiration and a hint of menace in just two minutes of this track.

5. "History Has Its Eyes On You" -John Legend

You could argue that Legend is kind of a show off, but we don't mind. He turns "History" into a love song because of course he does, with poignant piano and light choral notes to make those watery eyes of yours finally give into the overflow.

Go ahead and sob. It's ok.
