Janet Jackson "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" (Studio Acapella w/BG Vocals)

[@corinehenry6924]

Layering to perfection.

[@LeeDfined]

This song made me essentially fall in love with studying music: chord progression, the percussion and of course backing vocals. With the album version it drowns out the backing vocals on the chorus: "Luhvvvv...Wronggggg...Love Will Never Do Without You."

[@inhuman_human6790]

I don’t know if you know, but The backgrounds are saying “Laaaast…wroooooong….paaaast Love will never do without yooou”

[@Zayday1993]

Finally one with those harmonies she truly is the queen of those ❤️❤️❤️

[@arriek.1375]

her background vocals could be an instrumental alone 🥰

[@thickumz211]

Does it for me every time 🖤

[@Jordan-ze8cu]

If I could like this comment more than once I would!!

She needs to re-release all her albums as acapella.

[@LeeDfined]

She layers her vocals different than most artist which is why hers has such a heavenly sound. She typically does three tones with multiple stacks...then she hums under them to add volume. Before we even had technology to deconstruct songs I heard the parts and would remind this song over and over to hear the harmonies that were under the harmonies. She probably spent hours to get them how they turned out.

[@FlyAwayChi]

Exactly!!! The layering in the intro of Come Back To Me is ridiculously genius..

[@tellethomas410]

Talk yo shit, talk yo shit!! This woman got vocals and I’ve always said that this song proves that.

Absolutely! 👏🏾

[@JoeDiVitaMusic]

Hell yea! Escapade, too!

[@adua78]

Wow I never thought she actually hit the high note at the end. Always thought it was a studio trick honestly.

It blends into the horn seamlessly❤❤

[@JoeDiVitaMusic]

Herb Alpert on trumpet!

[@abriana3121]

We hear you too Terry💜

[@jmack129]

1:19 is just incredible So complex and in the background 🔥🔥💯

[@Zahra-lc3mj]

People forget harmonizing is in Janet’s blood. She’s a Jackson and she started singing backup on her brothers recordings . She’s in Thriller album singing on Pyt by Michael Jackson and Michael sang back up on Janet’s first two albums. All of the Jackson’s naturally can self harmonize and understand background vocals and harmony. I’m glad Brandy gave Janet props for background vocals because Janet Jackson is truly the best at arranging and stacking harmonies

[@ChaddMichael]

I’m so gladd other people were lookin for this too. I needed these background vocals in my ear. Thank u for posting.

[@inhuman_human6790]

One day I’d love to perform this song. It’s literally my all time favorite

[@KBDarell]

OHHHH MY God! Thank you soo much for this! For years I been wanting to hear this full A Capella where she hits those high notes at the end! I really appreciate you!

[@marinadela1361]

finally we got this because the other acapella available online was incomplete

[@daveydcxcix]

i love this song! love from 4:13 on the ad libs

[@jamesanson2711]

This is fantastic! Thanks

[@ezekielmajor5511]

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

[@blueg8731]

Fantastic

How does she get her background vocals to sound like that?

[@MCMcThriller]

She stacks them to get a fuller sound

[@LeeDfined]

She has a natural ear for self harmonizing. She also hums under some of them and does stacks in multiple tones.

[@JoeDiVitaMusic]

Quadruple tracked, bus compression and perhaps most importantly, great intonation.

[@watanyuwong712]

Super awesome

[@marinadela1361]

I've been looking for this

[@marinadela1361]

Sounds much nicer and natural without the vocal effects on the final version

[@judith.romance]

Thank you for this ❤️💕❤️💕

[@michaelvasek3974]

Okay, serious question is - why is it only one song where she used her deep powerful voice? She could record many songs and made hits from them if she use her full vocal range.

[@adua78]

She used it a bit oh “If” and “You.”

[@aphib8698]

@@adua78 Was about to say the same. Go listen to the If Acapella. The vocal stacking on that is incredible!

[@lucii3135]

i thought it was black cat as well

[@a_awake]

I heard that the first verse of this song was supposed to feature a male vocalist (supposedly Luther Vandross), and Janet sang the demo as if she were a man. But she ended up recording it by her self and just kept the vocals like that.

[@EminentSkiilz]

🥰☺️🌹💯🔥🔥🔥🔥👑

[@myrainezdawriter6024]

I think there are other ppl on the background vocals!

[@LeeDfined]

Terry Lewis and Janet. She simply does multi stacks. She may not have a super strong voice but she has a ear for self harmonizing and stacks her own vocals. She also hums to add depth and tone.

[@michaelvasek3974]

@@LeeDfined but she has strong voice, are you deaf how she did main vocals with deep voice? 😀 For some reason she sung only this song with full vocal range.

[@LeeDfined]

​@michaelvasek3974 am I deaf? Are you blind? The commenter said there are other people. I explained how she does her own vocals. So wtf are you talking about am I deaf? Are you?

[@corinehenry6924]

Listen again. Carefully

Who is here for Hyph Mngo sample ?
