They dont skip falsetto, they skip hitting high notes with their natural voice cause it's straining for the voice. Falsetto isn't really their natural voice so it's less harsh on the voice. And a lot of singers dont even sing in falsetto.

No matter how long I've been a fan I always come back here to reminisce. I first heard the Weeknd on an old friend's snapchat story in 2013. I was so captured by his airy falsetto and harsh brassy notes, he has a very distinctive style. Almost a decade later I remain enthralled by him and his evolution and how he decides to "reinvent" himself by giving us different eras/chapters while still remaining true to himself. I'm so proud of how far he's come, and everything he's been able to accomplish. He's so devoted to his art and making sure he's consistently creating and releasing quality material. I guess what I'm trying to say is, "If it ain't XO then it gotta go". Thank you for all of your hard work Abel! Sending so much love! xo
Yes he is great but let me honest Abel is setting the tone he don't even need a fucking guitar and he could set a tone but yes the guy playing is good but Abel is legend
@@jaywest9478 lol don’t undermine Patrick like that, he been with him through every tour always bringing his music to life hence why abel thanks him and his drummer letting them jam out
the thing I love about The Weeknd is that he is naturally talented and he puts his emotion in every song. Dropping out of high school was the best thing he ever did. I've been a fan since he was mysterious artist releasing music online and hoping someone would hear it and I did and im thankful that I found him. im thankful I could have his as a secret of mine before he became famous :)
👏👏👏👏 Amen! I discovered him about 3 weeks ago & bought to myself his topical album which pulled me totally in his spell. "Kissland" followed & hope to hold soon "Trilogy" in my hands. He's very gifted, like both albums very much.
+Kenneth Antonio don't forget that drakes album "Take care" was a success because of Abel. If he hadn't wrote half the songs then drakes album wouldn't have been as big and Abel's "The Trilogy" would've been longer and possibly better... If that's possible.
+Shadi Shans the goosebumps! if you dont get them its NOT good music! The first time I ever heard anything from him was Wicked Games and My body got chills and goosebumps and every song since
he's trying hard as fuck to be mainstream. look at who he collaborates with, the projects he's involved with. listen to an interview wherein he talks about his mainstream ambitions. you're just wrong
For me, The Weeknd is the artist of a lifetime. Without a doubt, my favorite singer ever. He has something for me no matter what mood I'm in. When I'm down, I put Abel on and I listen to his lyrics and they hit deep. His music has an impact on everyone, but especially those who really listen to what he's saying, and can identify with it. When you go through shit, and life gets fucked up, his music is there for you. Like a friend who's never going anywhere, and who you can count on to console you, give you advice, or pick you back up. I know he's just a guy and his music is played by billions, but when you listen to him enough, so much that you know all the words to all his songs, so much that you can feel his emotions through his music, it hits different,
Agreed brother! At his early stage I was literally ONLY listening to The Weeknd. I was like how can I listen to anything else when this amazing artist exist!
I am so late to the Weeknd party, but when I heard him on the radio in Los Angeles earlier this year I was hooked. Listened to him endless loops on youtube I think I am all caught up😍😍😍his voice is so beautiful, and his evolution is wow....
I felt his pain as a 14 year old. I got to experience the same pain 8 years later, and to go back through Trilogy, Echoes of Silence, etc is so riveting. Passion, pain, and ultimately....love. The greatest voice to ever stand behind a microphone.
I can listen to this over and over it makes me feel sad cause of the emotion in his voice its so beautiful his voice is amazing and his lyrics are so good ..
This is one of my all time favorite songs from him and I am so happy it has an acoustic version to accompany it! He will forever be one of my top 3 favorite artists. He just kills everything he does… his catalog of work is so insane now!
Gosh he just looks like a little sweet heart. Great fucking song. He's very theatrical, i love how his songs tell a story, i love that he gets so passionate
My heart just stopped right now. This is a pure beauty.. Abel has a unique natural angel voice that not very much people have.. A legend is born. I will remember you Abel ! XO
His voice makes me feel like crying tears of just pure joy and ecstasy because omfg that is the voice of a freaking angel. Pure talent. Looooveeee. I can't handle this.
I have come back to this video 20 times over the years and I never get tired of it, Just pure talent both in vocals and guitar. Thank you Abel and Patrick.
I’ve been hooked to this nigga since 2010 when House of Balloons mixtape dropped. I knew INSTANTLY he was a legend in the making. His shit was always super different but addicting. He opens the book on those demons that you have to close to survive. He has kept me ALIVE. No doubt. 2020 I’m still here!! XOTIOD!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Fully agree and if you go through my TH-cam and phone I’ve had his music since 2010 as well! Love that mate! Gutted his new stuff ain’t like this no more. But in rolling stone he admits he will be different and hopes we still listen!
@@nicholasingall5413 so many artists such as: Ed sheeran, The Weeknd, mk and drake had better and their own style Of music then when they made it had to change to suit radio and mainstream to a bigger audience…
abel. you used to my lil secret. now the friends i told u about long ago listen to you all of a sudden. bitter sweet feeling. but im proud of you, you deserve it alllllll xotwod
D Lo Some people don't see the sadness, not just in the lyrics but in the effects that Abel puts on his voice. They're so cold and static, yet it's beautiful too. It's like you can see a different side of every song, and I have to say that I know it's no accident. His voice is so concrete; it really grounds the songs and solidifies the lyrics at the same time. See, I said that as a response to all of the fans who say that Kiss Land isn't sad because the beats aren't as depressing. I find Kiss Land even more depressing just based on the fact that instead of spending so much time making edgy beats that sound sad, he spent time crafting the perfect effects to place on his voice, so you feel the man in the lyrics being sad, and not the occasion or the song itself.
Dawn fm has shades of Kissland imo, they’re both conceptual albums who follow a specific soundscape with vocal and instrumental experimentation while staying true to the core of what he is as a musician at the time of each one, but ofc nothing is on the level of kissland.
I Remember when I was back in 7th grade 9 years ago. Heard my first song from him “wicked games” backed in 2011. Till now his my favorite artist, TRILOGY always hits in a different level. XOTWOD!
He needs to make an acoustic version of beauty behind the madness because holy shit. I would say trilogy but that's pretty much already acoustic, I love it, it sounds like an album just full of jam sessions
I would pay MAD money to see an acoustic set by him
Fn Right!
Me too! Intimate settings 😍

Usually singer tend to skip the falsetto part, and Abel is just enjoying doing it.
They dont skip falsetto, they skip hitting high notes with their natural voice cause it's straining for the voice. Falsetto isn't really their natural voice so it's less harsh on the voice. And a lot of singers dont even sing in falsetto.
Serero Serera wrong. You’re literally just incorrect. Falsetto is a high note you dumbass. Learn yourself something

its better underrated, real xo can enjoy it better without all the bandwagons

It's a story of the trouble of him and his girl. All the songs are basically placed perfectly through out the whole album. Dope indeed.

enrique buendiaz nothing without you was the last he did
this album was so fire, wish he made another album similar to kissland. After hours is fire too
After hours is ok tbh but imo kids land was his last good album before he started slowing getting bad
@@candycrush3932every album by the weeknd has its own beauty ...nowhere in his career he goes bad
Dawn fm has shades of Kissland imo, they’re both conceptual albums who follow a specific soundscape with vocal and instrumental experimentation while staying true to the core of what he is as a musician at the time of each one, but ofc nothing is on the level of kissland.
He is EVERYTHING. Nothing could ever compare to this mans talent. Kissland doesn't get the credit it deserves in my opinion. XOTWOD
5 years later and still gives me the goosebumps
I sleep to this song every night, it calms me.
Alex Hitaj me too xoxo
Name of first song?
Who’s here in 2020 rewatching this for the millionth time. XOTWOD
ME!!!!
ME TOOO
This is probably the most beautiful things I've ever seen ;3
God he's so damn amazing. One of the strongest, natural, angelic voice of all time.
I have so much love for this man it's unreal. Kissland matters too. XOTWOD
All fucken day xo
xo
xo to the death 👄💞
I was really feelin Kiss Land tbh, people gave him crap for it because it wasn't the trilogy but to me it was still the real honest The Weeknd
Yes!!! So much respect and love for able! XOTWOD!
Moment of silence for those who will never discover this gem
Come back to it
Gosh he sounds so heavenly in vocal warm up. Hope and pray to meet him. He seems shy and sweet.
I never heard a rnb singer make the guitar sound so good. Dudes literally the perfect vocalist.
So much emotion in his voice in the town! Speechless! XOTWOD
He has such raw talent, I'd kill to see him live.
He sounds just like that live
Saw him live it was a dream 😭
I Remember when I was back in 7th grade 9 years ago. Heard my first song from him “wicked games” backed in 2011. Till now his my favorite artist, TRILOGY always hits in a different level. XOTWOD!
i've been waiting for his acoustics for soooo long ahhhh not a bit disappointed
He needs to make an acoustic version of beauty behind the madness because holy shit. I would say trilogy but that's pretty much already acoustic, I love it, it sounds like an album just full of jam sessions
Abel, just make a goddamn acoustic album for us!!! This was beyond amazing!
Still coming back to this ICONIC warm up session!! Miss the old weeknd btw XO❤
One of the only artists that can sign without auto tune
Indeed, even I wish I could sing like that. XO together forever !
