Can't Help Falling In Love Archives

Jack Harlow surprised fans with an unexpected twist during his recent performance. The 26-year-old entertainer delivered a soulful rendition of Elvis Presley’s timeless ballad, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” By covering an iconic love song, he displayed his vocal range and versatility, moving beyond his usual hip-hop style. With the release of his critically acclaimed Jackman in 2023, the rap star has been experimenting with his sound.

Originally recorded by Presley for the 1961 Blue Hawaii soundtrack, the heartfelt track has been reinterpreted by many artists over the years. Harlow’s version, performed at his fourth annual No Place Like Home concert in Louisville, maintained the song’s classic tempo and romantic essence. Backed by the Louisville Orchestra at Whitney Hall, he captivated the audience with a stripped-down, elegant interpretation that showcased his vocal depth.

With this unexpected foray into classic balladry, Harlow has not only stunned his audience but also opened the door to exploring new facets of his artistry. Fans are already clamoring for more, eager to see where this newfound vocal direction might lead. The two-night event follows his two-night festival that debuted earlier this year, with headlining acts SZA, Vince Staples, and more.

In between quality time with friends and family, Jack Harlow spent some of his holiday time with fans. On November 28 and 29, the “Hello Miss Johnson” rapper teamed with the Louisville Orchestra for a performance at The Kentucky Center’s Whitney Hall. Now, a clip from his special concert has spread far beyond his hometown.

During his show, Jack Harlow decided to show off his vocal ability by performing a cover of the late Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love.” Now, the video (viewable here) has sparked a viral response from users online.

Initially, supporters were impressed by Harlow’s singing voice. However, that quickly faded away as users claimed Harlow was “softly launching” his exit from rap music. Others took it even further accusing Harlow of being a culture vulture.

“It’s starting… soon he’ll be just like the rest of the white rappers,” declared one user.

“A culture vulture covering a song by the ‘KING’ of the culture vultures,” wrote one user.

“MGK, Post Malone, and now Jack Harlow using the rap genre/black culture as a stepping stone to being famous ,” chimed another.

“This is so typical of [white] rappers, get clout and fame off rap music then transition to another genre,” penned another.

But not everyone feels like Harlow is washing his hands of rap. “The narrative that he’s shifting genres is stupid lmao. His last album was a RAP album, he just covered a song ,” wrote one fan.

Jack Harlow hasn’t addressed the online banter.
