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.
