Jack Harlow surprised everyone during his latest show. The 26-year-old artist sang a heartfelt version of Elvis Presley’s classic love song, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” This cover showed off his singing skills and flexibility, taking him beyond his typical hip-hop style. Since releasing his well-received album Jackman in 2023, Harlow has been trying new sounds. Originally, Presley recorded this song for the 1961 Blue Hawaii soundtrack, and many musicians have reimagined it over time. Harlow performed his take at the fourth annual No Place Like Home concert in Louisville, staying true to the song’s classic feel and romantic vibe. Backed by the Louisville Orchestra at Whitney Hall, he engaged the crowd with a simple yet beautiful version that highlighted his vocal strength. Clips from the performance quickly spread online, including a TikTok video showing Harlow in a stylish black suit and tie in front of the orchestra. Fans were amazed by his smooth transition into this new musical style. One user exclaimed, “THIS IS HIM SINGING????” while another shared their surprise, saying, “I thought, ‘This looks like Jack Harlow,’ and then read the caption. WHAT!!??” Many fans commented on his hidden talent, with one joking, “Jack Harlow, you’ve been holding out on us,” and another calling him the “Jack of all trades fr.” Some saw this moment as game-changing for Harlow, with one fan insisting, “He should’ve been doing this from the START. Now I’m a fan.”
With this surprising move into classic ballads, Harlow has not only wowed his audience but also opened up new opportunities for his music. Fans are excited to see where this new direction might take him. This two-night event follows a festival he headlined earlier this year, featuring acts like SZA and Vince Staples.
