Perfume Genius covers Elvis’ ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’

So, how long were a few advertising execs sitting around pondering this pun-worthy one for then? Mike Hadreas, aka Perfume Genius, has covered Elvis Presley’s ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’. For a Prada perfume advert. Now that’s a genius move.

Elvis’ original version is a simple ballad ready for slow dancing to at your aunt’s wedding, but Hadreas has put quite a spin on the classic. It’s a stark take on the tune, with PG’s vocals drifting over minimal synths. It’s pretty damn sultry.
