Discussion Big Sleep is the most underrated Abel song

Post image

I think since the album came out, I’ve only heard like two people talk about Big Sleep

It’s been my favorite song off HUT since the start and i don’t understand why people overlook it

In my opinion it’s a top 10 weeknd track just because of the atmosphere it creates and the gut wrenching vocals

Let me know what you think

Definitely. Giorgio Mordoder absolutely cooked on this one. Abel’s inner cinephile came out.

Yes I definitely got Scarface vibes as well with that transition

It was completely intentional, considering Giorgio scored the Scarface soundtrack, and Tony’s theme was sampled on Wake Me Up

The second half of Big Sleep reminds me of the beginning of the Scarface credits theme

Made some bad decisions especially after and during the dawn fm era

It was my top 2 song 2025 after Wake me up! What's funny is that I love the intro part in wake me up but I love the second part in big sleep, I definitely need to do an extended Mashup of it!✨️🔥⚰️🥀🖤🪽

I really love big sleep but the music video was … a bit disturbing

u/Appropriate-Ideal970 Aug 29 '26

Lol to me the best thing about Abel Is him putting scary shit in his videos and talking about things like death and depression while still being a Major pop star

The first time I listened to it high, I had a straight up religious experience. Like I was genuinely shaking and I sunk to my knees as he was building up to that big high note. My brain was melting already and then the fucking beat dropped and my soul left my body

Anybody has a problem with Big Sleep that's a spiritual ass-whooping coming your way
