Jackie Evancho Debuts Music Video for 'Hamilton' Cover 'Burn' (Exclusive Premiere)

Jackie Evancho‘s new album The Debut, featuring covers of some of the best songs from Broadway musicals, is being released this week and JustJared.com is exclusively premiering the music video for her cover from Hamilton!

The 19-year-old singer and former America’s Got Talent contestant sang a cover of the Eliza song “Burn,” which chronicles the character’s reaction to discovering her husband’s affair.

“I chose ‘Burn’ for the album because I wanted to include a song from Hamilton - it is such an important ground breaking musical of our time,” Jackie told us about choosing the song. “The album would not be complete without it. When I first heard it I absolutely adored the passion of Eliza’s feelings towards her husband’s betrayal and it just spoke to me in a profound way.”

“My inspiration for the video of ‘Burn’ was to put a modern-day twist on the story of Hamilton and his wife and I really want to people that are my age and maybe younger, or even older, to be able relate to it in a way that’s more modern,” she added.

Make sure to pre-order Jackie‘s new album now on iTunes. It will be available on April 12!

By the way, TODAY (April 9) is Jackie‘s 19th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
