The Weeknd - What You Need (official raw acapella) 

imagine he sends you this as a voice message

Bro tryna rizz us up in the picture 😂

having the acapella really emphasizes the difference between his beautiful vocals and the dark beats he sings on

Wish he still made music like this but it's both fortunate and unfortunate that it's from a time when he was a completely different person than he is now

the controll he has on his voice is crazy

I love his voice sm 😭

Here's what people don't understand about vocal presets. The dry version should sound amazing before any processing. No vocal preset can fix bad singing

his voice is actually something special

a tear just fell down my leg..

Honestly as a singer and a producer, this gives me a lot of confidence. Abel’s singing here isn’t perfect, and you can literally hear cars passing by in the background, but the song still turned out great! It’s honestly very reassuring and inspiring!

I'd die for his voice , it's so fucking good 😭

I love this acapella version of this song. It's so beautiful

yk I often listen to this acapella n every time I’m so damn amazed at how angelic his vocals are. like this is truly the most wonderful thing I’ve ever heard) he’s so talented I can’t

He sounds so angelic

I'm sorry but his voice gotta be the best of the best man. Abels voice is just chefs kiss. Brooo imagine him singing this to you on yo birthday 🫢

I remember flicking through the booklet of Take Care, looking at the writers credits - completely randomly - and I kept seeing this one name appear over and over again. The Weeknd. I was like damn, he literally credited on all my favourite songs, let me search him up and see if he has any solo material. Then I found the Trilogy. I was INSTANTLY hooked. I’d never heard anything like this before. He instantly became by favourite artist (alongside Drake, at the time - which was a huge feat I never thought possible) and I’d listen to him hours every single day. I remember literally telling my family and friends this guy is gonna be huge one day, obviously I’d never envisioned to these heights, but it was a magical experience finding someone so great with only thousands of views. It was like a dirty little secret before the world was about to find. Then songs like King Of The Fall dropped, and he started landing huge features with all the top artists - it was an amazing journey to witness.

Car drives by at 1:00. Humble beginnings

He has such a beautiful voice

i never new how natural sounding his voice is, the auto-tune always makes him sound like he's struggling, but i guess he really is a natural tenor lol

I love this man, his voice is so angelic. xotwod

Sounds raw as hell🔥🔥🔥

stop this literally gave me goosebumps

Feels like he singing in my ear😩♥️

Beautiful voice, great ear for music and he's handsome..

I LOVE THIS MANNN

HIS VOICCEEE>>>

the voice of an angel.

Damn, this gave me chills

It's like the main character of a movie randomly singing in his room 😭😭😭

He's improved so much vocally since this! His live vocals now are unbelievable

Beautiful

Naaaaaah, esto suena increíble, una cosa más para no dudar de la gran voz que tiene. ¿Tienes pensado subir alguna más acapella que haya sido filtrada?

this video heals my soul

this made me smile omg

This is truly acapella💯 I’m digging around the archives for a TRUE Drake acapella and can’t find anything anywhere. Everything says acapella but is clearly artificially produced with auto-tune

Omg, i love u abel😭

how did you get access to this you should get the acapella for wicked games 🔥

god he’s so🥹

he’s so sexy and cute i have goosebumps

turned out to be a demon.

He really had the music game on 🔒🔒🔒

I want to go back to 2010.

Wow that's interesting ❤❤❤

why bro rizz 3 minutes 11 seconds straight

realmente esta canción duele con el alma, y m hace llorar hasta lo q no.

One of my favorites

You could actually hear the instrumental a lil bit

this is too Good

Melt ❤

Haven’t heard this song in years I was a little kid😂

This clearly isn't a raw/dry version, since you can hear pitch correction or some sort of robotic vocal effect after 1:51. This just seems to be someone that removed the reverb and music, since you can still hear the music in the background. This entire vocal recording is probably pitch corrected already.

Ts beautiful

Beautiful 🥰❤️❤️❤️🙌

🥵🥵🎶👂🔌🔥

OHH DAMN!!!

How did you get this ? Does anyone have a clue lol that’s crazy

Yup, this is my husband

I love this nigga 🙃

i am him

Ring in the New Year With Me!!!❤❤❤

We knew the weeknd couldn't sing when we heard the birds pt1

yuuuh

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Godd

This might be a tough question but does anyone know his origin of who he learned to sing from and what age? I read online that it was from someone highly regarded by the last name Anderson but I don’t know if that was after he got famous or his beginner years.

💃🏽

🖤🖤🖤🎈🎈🎈

Do you know if he used the same vocals in the unreleased and official version?

bro thinks hes Michael Jackson
