Jack Harlow Covers Elvis Presley During Hometown Concert

Jack Harlow fans were thrown into a frenzy after the rapper covered an Elvis Presley classic during a hometown show over the weekend.

Last Friday and Saturday (November 29-30), the Louisville, Kentucky native held his two-night No Place Like Home 2024 homecoming concerts at Whitney Hall. While backed by the Louisville Orchestra, with Teddy Abrams as conductor, a suited Harlow crooned Elvis' 1961 hit "Can’t Help Falling in Love." The performance surprised some on social media into believing that Harlow will soon switch genres, similar to the likes of Post Malone and Machine Gun Kelly, who've dabbled in other music outside of rap.

On night two of the shows, according to WLKY, the "First Class" artist also covered Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," which he dedicated to his grandmother, before singing the Elvis staple.

But those in attendance were also treated to Harlow's catalog, with orchestra-backed renditions of songs like Jackman track "Ambitious" and his latest single, "Hello Miss Johnson."

In the past, Harlow acknowledged his position as a white rapper and expressed that he's not a "novelty act" who's using the genre to get ahead.

“There is a certain reality that I am white, and I think there will always be something attached to that. No matter how embraced I am, there will never be a day that I’m Black," he told Billboard. "With that being said, there’s a certain responsibility that comes with being a white man in a Black genre, and there’s certain things that have me regarded differently. But there is something exciting about skipping over any barriers that might be there and creating unity.”

"People think of white rappers using hip-hop as a vehicle," he continued. "It’s important that people know I love hip-hop and want to stay in hip-hop and want to be part of hip-hop and I’m using it as a vehicle to fuel my dreams."
