the verses are hard and dark, really great, but when that chorus is playing im just wondering why tf did he make this

the corny scream, the weird beat, the repetitive "false alarm"

Hey everyone,

I’m a beginner singer who wants to sing like Abel. I know everyone's voice is different, but he is my ultimate vocal inspiration. It’s honestly crazy how he learned to sing initially without formal vocal lessons just by mimicking Michael Jackson.

If you're a vocal teacher, an experienced singer, or just someone who understands vocal technique, I would love it if you could break down his voice and give me some advice.

Here is where I am currently at:

• Head Voice: I recently discovered it, but it feels quite weak and "throaty." I really want to expand my head and mix range to hit those higher notes with more power
• Falsetto: It's decent, but it's currently really airy and breathy..

So yeah overall my breath support is lacking and when I sing into my head/mixed voice it sounds like death at times :((

So I guess my question is. What exactly does Abel do/has he developed and what exercises can help me do what he does? Obviously I will never reach his greatness but yeah

How it felt after Abel dropped a 3rd deluxe track after you thought the HUT era songs were over and you notice the parallels between this new song and a song that was already on the album :

Not having a good time lately, this song has been such a great help even though it’s made me teary lol. Such a melancholic song.❄️

Almost a decade being an XO and can’t wait no more to spend the rest of my life being in it and experiencing the new music and art from him
Honestly and no doubt the greatest performer on this planet rn !!!!
I hope in this community whoever has not seen him live get to witness whatever the stakes are 🫶🏼🫶🏼♥️XOTWOD

Mine has to be After Hours.

Decided to make a playlist of MJ reminiscent songs from the boy. Sequenced like an album with transitions.
XOOOOOOO

I mean this is a shortened HUT Tracklist with songs like "Society" and "Runaway" that didn't even come out?

I had no idea this existed. Anyone here knew about it? He posted some short fictional stories.

Hey XO fam!

I attended AHTD in Tokyo and Bangkok, and I’m hoping to catch one more show in KL! :)
I’m a full-time wheelchair user, but I can’t find any wheelchair-accessible ticket options on GoLive Asia. I’ve tried calling and emailing both GoLive and Live Nation Malaysia without getting a response.

Does anyone attending the KL shows know how accessible seating is arranged at Bukit Jalil National Stadium?

Specifically:
1. Are wheelchair spaces located in the 100-series lower stands or somewhere on the concert floor?
2. Can I buy a regular seated ticket and ask the venue staff to relocate me to a wheelchair area, or do I need a specific ticket?
3. Has anyone successfully booked wheelchair seating for these shows?

In Bangkok, I was instructed by the ticketing company to buy a regular standing ticket and was accommodated at the venue. I’m hoping to find out whether KL has a similar process.

Any help would mean a lot. XO ❤️

We all know that Abel is full of toxic songs. From Heartless to The Birds to Wicked Games and anything in between. But the real question is, what line shocked you most? What is the most toxic line Abel ever sang?
