Ever since they won The Sing-Off in 2011, Pentatonix has been gracing us with their outstanding covers.
They generally stick to pop hits, but are also well-known for their renditions of beloved Christmas classics. Theyâve even ventured into the rock world, releasing a chilling video for the Queen hit âBohemian Rhapsody.â
Proving their versatility, the members of Pentatonix have also tried out country covers. In 2016, the group collaborated with Dolly Parton on a new arrangement of her hit âJolene,â and ended up winning a Grammy for their rendition.
The group has delivered yet another Grammy-worthy performance with their cover of an Elvis Presley classic, âCanât Help Falling in Love.â
Elvis was the first artist to record the timeless love song, which was featured in his 1961 film, Blue Hawaii. His version went on to claim the top spot on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart.
The popularity of âCanât Help Falling in Loveâ prompted many other artists to record the song themselves. Some notable artists who have recorded the song in the past include Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, and Twenty One Pilots.
Pentatonix included their rendition of âCanât Help Falling in Loveâ on their EP, PTX Vol. IV â Classics. In addition to their cover of âCanât Help Falling in Loveâ and âBohemian Rhapsody,â the album also includes their takes on other classics such as John Lennonâs âImagineâ and âOver the Rainbowâ from The Wizard of Oz.
The group also released a music video to go along with their cover of âCanât Help Falling in Love.â
They took a simple approach with the video, which was filmed against a black background and included close-up shots of each member as they sang. This simplistic approach gives viewers the chance to focus solely on their vocal performance, which is phenomenal to say the least.
As always, the cover showcases Pentatonixâs breathtaking harmonies. They blend their voices together beautifully, creating a dazzling cover that Elvis would have been proud to hear.
