āI really love love songs. I feel like theyāre the best way to have a human express true emotion,ā Cynthia Erivo says, so sheās built a whole concert set list around them. āI love ballads. I love music that allows people to feel emotion. My intention was to use the night to tell love stories. I wanted to find pieces that were wonderful representations of how we as human beings love.ā
Erivoās concert is part of the Live From Lincoln Center series Stars in Concert, and itāll air on PBS on May 10. Among the love songs the singer and actor chose for the night was a rendition of āI Canāt Help Falling in Love With You.ā āItās a classic, and I think itās a wonderful way to tell someone that you love them completely,ā Erivo said. āIāve definitely been in a position where you fall in love almost by accident, you donāt mean to, but it happens. Thatās what that songās about.ā You can fall in love on purpose with Erivoās performance by watching it in the clip above.
