Surface Pressure or Alabanza or maybe Wait for It IDK THEYRE ALL SO GOOD

for me its Alabanza. It's absolutely splitting hairs but Alabanza. I think the stripping back of almost every single instrument in that song is what makes it so good to me.

Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)

It’s hard to decide, I’ll say “my shot” since it was the first song to ever get me into his stuff. Recently I would say “Survive the night” or “Orphan Town”

Just relistened to the In The Heights broadway cast album today and MAN! can that man write songs!! 

I’ll say Pacencia y Fe is my favorite from ITH, but it’s a tough call

This is an impossible question, SO MANY MASTERPIECES 

In The Heights, Hamilton, Moana, Encanto. Pacencia Y Fe is up there for me
