Jacob Collier gathers over 100,000 voices for groundbreaking version of 'Can't Help Falling In Love'

28-year-old Londoner Jacob Collier once again showcases his seemingly endless stream of creativity this week with the release of one of his most ambitious projects to date. The five-time Grammy-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist’s arrangement of the Elvis Presley hit Can’t Help Falling In Love is a creation on an unprecedented scale, a coming together of over 100,000 voices which is set to further cement his reputation as one of the most innovative minds of modern times.

During the encore of each concert on the US leg of his recent Djesse world tour, Collier would return alone to the stage and proceed to conduct the entire audience, transforming them into a massed choir, guiding them into multi-part harmonies and creating what would invariably become one of the most-talked-about moments of the evening. Alongside these nightly mass singalongs, audience members in each city were asked to collectively film themselves singing a different word from the Elvis Presley song Can’t Help Falling In Love and to upload their recording using a special QR code. Over 10,000 submissions were received, and it is with the recordings of these two moments that Collier has assembled a video bringing together over 100,000 voices to create a dazzling, one-of-a-kind audio-visual experience.

The video, entitled Jacob Collier & The Audience Choir - Can't Help Falling In Love, is out on October 13th to coincide with World Singing Day on October 15th and is available to watch here:
