Usually singer tend to skip the falsetto part, and Abel is just enjoying doing it.

[@sereroserera367]

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.

[@morganmiddleton6237]

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 :)

[@pseudonym6084]

👏👏👏👏 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.

[@jamesgarza4412]

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,

[@ranayshapower7229]

Wow you described this so perfectly !

[@gray-state1703]

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!

[@rebecca5121]

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

Lyrics (I changed them because slightly different from the studio versions of the songs): [Part 1: Belong To The World] [Verse 1] I know you want your money 'Cause you do this every day The way you doubt your feelings And look the other way Well, it's something I relate to Your gift of nonchalance But nobody's ever made me fall in love With this amount of touch, well [Pre-Chorus] I'm not a fool I just love that you're dead inside I'm not a fool, babe I'm just lifeless too But you taught me how to feel When nobody ever would And you taught me how to love When nobody ever could [Chorus] Ooh girl, I know I should leave you And learn to mistreat you 'Cause you belong to the world (oh yeah) And ooh girl, I wanna embrace you Domesticate you But you belong to the world You belong to the world [Verse 2] And I know that I'm saying too much Even though I'd rather hold my tongue, yeah And I'll pull you closer holding on to Every moment 'til my time is done, babe And this ain't right, you've been the only one to make me smile In so long, I've succumbed to what I've become, hey [Pre-Chorus] I'm not a fool, baby I just love that you're dead inside I'm not a fool, girl I'm just lifeless too But you taught me how to feel When nobody ever would And you taught me how to love When nobody ever could, ohh [Chorus] Well ooh girl, I know I should leave you And learn to mistreat you, girl 'Cause you belong to the world (Ooh yeah) And ooh girl, I wanna embrace you Domesticate you But you belong to the world You belong to the world [Part 2: The Town] [Intro: The Weeknd & (Patrick Greenaway)] Is that The Town, right? (Yea) Oo-oo-ooh Oh, oh [Hook] You did many things That I liked, that I liked And you like diamond rings I can provide, I can provide for you You made me feel so good Before I left On the road And you deserve your name On a crown, on a throne [Verse 1] I haven't been around my town in a long while I apologize, but I I've been trying to get this money like I got a couple kids who rely On me But I remember on the bathroom floor 'Fore I went on tour Like you said we couldn't do it again Cause you had a thing with some other man You said it was love And you said you were lost Then you wished me good luck To find somebody to love Oh, baby, oh-h But, oooh Now I've heard that you're single And uh huh, I'll give you something to live for, oh Yes, I will, oh Yes, I will, oh-h-h Yes, I will [Verse 2] (Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey) Honey, please You never thought you'd ever see my face again But your love just swayed the lies When he stared into your eyes He just might be too good for you, oh You're almost dead to him You're sleeping with a frozen heart Well baby girl it's over now And you can always count on me, oh-h Your unshackled boy, unrestrained to touch So immune to love And it feels so priceless to me, oh That you're always free That you'll take me in Now I'm everything, your everything Ooh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh I know you'll take me in

I know you want your money, girl 'Cause you do this every day, okay The way you doubt your feelings And look the other way Well, it's something I relate to Your gift of nonchalance Nobody's ever made me fall in love With this amount of touch Well, I'm not a fool I just love that you're dead inside (That you're dead inside) I'm not a fool, I'm just lifeless too But you to taught me how to feel When nobody ever would (Nobody ever would) And you taught me how to love What nobody ever could Ooh girl, I know I should leave you And learn to mistreat you 'Cause you belong to the world And ooh girl, I want to embrace you Domesticate you But you belong to the world, you belong to the world And I know that I'm saying too much Even though I'd rather hold my tongue, yeah And I'll pull you closer holding on to Every moment till my time is done, yeah And this ain't right, you've been the only one to make me smile In such long, I've succumbed to what I've become, baby I'm not a fool I just love that you're dead inside (that you're dead inside) I'm not a fool, I'm just lifeless too (I'm just lifeless too) But you to taught me how to feel (You taught me how to feel) When nobody ever would (Nobody ever would) And you taught me how to love (You taught me how to love) What nobody ever could Ooh girl, I should leave you (I know I should leave you) And learn to mistreat you (And learn to mistreat you) Because you belong to the world oh yeah And ooh girl, I wanna embrace you (I wanna embrace you) Domesticate you (Domesticate you) But, you belong to the world You belong to the world You belong to the world You belong to the loneliness of filling every need You belong to the world, you belong to the world You belong to the temporary moments of a dream Ooh girl, I know I should leave you And learn to mistreat you 'Cause you belong to the world And ooh girl, I want to embrace you Domesticate you But you belong to the world, you belong to the world You belong to the world, you belong to the world You belong to the world

[@dc703]

5 years later and still gives me the goosebumps

[@mori4133]

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.

[@genellecampbell5378]

God he's so damn amazing. One of the strongest, natural, angelic voice of all time.

[@rockwjz]

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!

[@MysticalMastodon]

It disappoints me that so many people don't understand Kiss Land.

[@DiLo377]

What do you mean?

[@noahcornelius513]

Agree 100%.

[@Paulj8c882]

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.

[@MysticalMastodon]

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.

[@DiLo377]

Matthew Gonzales aww wow, I have yet to listen to it from beginning to end but will remember this and pay particular attention, thank you

[@faithfranco8836]

I wish I was able to be a fan from the beginning and listen to his music when he first came out but when he did back at 2011 and 2012 I was in the 2nd and 3rd grade. I encounter wicked games on my pandora when I was entering the 5th grade, I just fell in love with the song. So when I searched him up on KZbin he liked changed my music life. I listen to trilogy and his the original mixtape which were amazing projects. Then when I was entering the 6th grade I heard beauty behind the madness which was so amazing! That album changed my life! Then I heard his kiss land album which I fell in love right away. Now entering the 7th grade I am such a huge fan of The Weeknd, he's the main person that I listen to because he's just that great! Even though I'm not like an 18 year old, anyone can listen to him. His music just gives me this feeling that not that many other artist could do. He is one of my ideals and he is such an inspiration to me. New note: I forgot I had made this comment, I’m 16 now entering my junior year. In so glad so many people were able to relate to me back then and now🥺❤️ #XOTWOD

[@iudiguerra]

You are so young you can do anything and become anyone in life. It looks likes like you have a gift for really appreciating music. If you ever wanna be a songwriter or musician start now. Start writing about how you feel. You could be great like him!

[@lxxusss1510]

Faith Franco I'm 14 almost in 9th grade... so not too much older than you. but I feel the same way. I discovered him in 2013 when I first heard What You Need. I wasn't there at the very start either, but I still am XO for life. ♡

[@ketrintopic8689]

Faith Franco agree. im young too just like you

[@carloslinares9792]

Same!! Well now im in 8th going to 9th now.

[@biclighter8240]

Faith Franco don't do drugs

[@patriciaWmonteiro]

i've been waiting for his acoustics for soooo long ahhhh not a bit disappointed

[@joseguerrero7198]

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!

[@emmanumusic]

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

[@tristansearle9532]

+BFamous94 SO TRUE ABEL IS A GENIUS

[@emmanumusic]

Yeah no doubt :)

[@Charlotte-bp6fk]

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

[@JadeRabbitPoundingElixir]

Gosh he sounds so heavenly in vocal warm up. Hope and pray to meet him. He seems shy and sweet.

[@coupleofbeers31]

What an amazing voice. I really hope he comes to Arizona again soon. So sad that I missed him last year.

[@hollym3505]

I literally watch this weekly. His voice is so beautiful and sensual. I like this acoustic version better than the studio versions. ❤️

[@normalbutyl]

This is still top 50 acoustic performances of all time and this was a warm up. I thank the Heavenly Father for my ears. Been on this since pre 100k

[@gabrielagarcia876]

He has such raw talent, I'd kill to see him live.

[@drewer81]

He sounds just like that live

[@nanibeats1658]

Saw him live it was a dream 😭

[@thisthatxotwod948]

So much emotion in his voice in the town! Speechless! XOTWOD

[@lxf9914]

He does "auto tune" or puts effects on his voice as a creative tool only! Voice box etc. but obviously doesn't need to to sing! It's a creativity thing not a fake thing. Beautiful voice!

[@actuallyarnav]

true, autotune is just a creative tool for him, like you said. not like a dependancy.

[@Thorfinn517]

@@actuallyarnav yeah.. and damnn.. we are fresh men in this comment section 😂😎

[@actuallyarnav]

@@Thorfinn517 lmaoo yes

[@zalebabe]

he's so under estimated as an artist, his vocals can go so far

[@allanabarca9328]

Been a fan since his first album. His music speaks truth via relationship, heartbreak, and life. I love his music and voice.

[@Manii210]

Backstage warmups...this was a concert lmao but omg I love him and his voice😭❤
