Listen LiveUnreleased The Weeknd Songs May 2026
Before Abel Tesfaye became The Weeknd, he recorded several pop-oriented tracks under the moniker "The Noise."
Must-hears:
From the Trilogy era to the scrapped Hurry Up Tomorrow sessions, Abel's vault is deeper than most artists' discographies. The Weeknd's Unreleased Tracks from Hurry Up Tomorrow Unreleased The Weeknd Songs
- "Hold Your Heart" : This song was teased for years on Instagram Live. Fans went wild when a studio snippet dropped. It eventually evolved into "Take My Breath" from Dawn FM, but the original version had a completely different, darker chord progression.
- "Another One of Me" (feat. Diddy & French Montana) : This track has a complicated history. It was intended for The Weeknd’s album, then given to Diddy. When it finally dropped officially, fans rejected it because the mixing buried Abel’s vocals. The unreleased solo version (The Weeknd only) is vastly superior and circulates among collectors.
- "The Lure (Interlude)" : A two-minute atmospheric piece that was pulled from Dawn FM at the last minute. It featured narration by Jim Carrey that was cut due to runtime constraints.
- "Enemy" : Perhaps the most famous unreleased Weeknd song of all time. It finally saw a semi-official release on the Kiss Land 5-year anniversary edition, but for years, it existed only as a grainy YouTube rip. The song is a masterpiece of tension, featuring a frantic beat and Abel singing about paranoia.
- "Our Love" (feat. Ricky Hil) : A duet that explores co-dependency. While it leaked in 2014, the production quality suggests it was nearly finished for the album.
- "I Don't Need Love" : A somber piano ballad that sounds nothing like the rest of Kiss Land. It shows that Abel was experimenting with a stripped-back sound years before "Call Out My Name."
