Part of the Blue Hawaii album, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” became one of Elvis Presley’s most loved ballads when first published in 1961.

While millions of performers, from Andrea Bocelli to Haley Reinhart, have taken crack at it in the decades since, Hadwin’s version is remarkable for its nerve and newness.
