The Pulse of Entertainment: Gospel's Terrance Bell's ‘Party Outside' New Single Dedicated to His Father, a Lover of R&B

by Dr. Eunice Moseley

(July 25, 2025) - "I am my dad's child," said Terrance Bell about going from Gospel to R&B for the new single "Party Outside" (Virtual Valor Group/Central South). "He's a lover of R&B. We went fishing and I saw him dancing to R&B...it was Cool and the Gang, the Whispers, and the Commodores. I wanted to do a song for him."

That, Terrance Bell accomplished on the new single "Party Outside." It has that Cool & the Gang/Commadore era vibe, but thick on the sexy vocals. It is also produced by T. Bell Productions, which did an exceptional job on the track.

"The lyrics took me to sexy," he laughed a little when I mentioned how sexy he sounds singing R&B. "I don't even cuss. It's a fun freaky and naughty song."

Bell, the author of "Flawed But Unbroken: The Regenerated Soul of a Man," has a history in Contemporary Gospel, so delving into R&B is a change for his fans.

"I sing everything," Bell told me when I mentioned his Gospel history. "Even opera. I'm writing another Gospel record right now. ‘I am Music' to have R&B and Gospel on one album. I love all music. I'm always writing R&B. I released a couple of R&B ballads last year. My son said to do a song with a video with it. So, man I wanted to do that."

Terrance Bell's past projects include "God is God," "God My Hero," "Preserved" featuring Joyful Praise, and his R&B project "My Story." From that project came his last single "Perfect Man" and this new single "Party Outside," an up-tempo get-on-your feet song.

"We even created a line dance," Terrance, a Texas native, pointed out to me as we talked about the "Party Outside" single. "I put real money behind this single. My relatives like it. Normally they don't even call me (after he release music). But they called me on ‘Party Outside'."

"I still walk with God," Bell said sincerely. "But I haven't felt this good...this song it's who I am. A party song. I'm from the south and that's what we do (party outside). I dedicate this song to my father."  www.TerranceBell.com

(July 18, 2025) - "Man, people are loving it," said Country superstar Trey Calloway about his new single "She Don't Break It". "I had the idea for ‘they don't make it like they use to'...had this hook. Terry (McBride) wrote it with me, he is a big-time songwriter, and this brand-new producer I've worked with almost a year...Brandon, who said how about ‘she don't break it like it used to.'"Once you hear Trey Calloway you know that you are listening to a legend in the making. CMA nominated Terry McBride, who wrote the song with him, is also a songwriter for Brooks & Dunn and Reba McEntire. The other co-writer of "She Don't Break It" is Brandon Hood, who is also the producer.

"At its core it's a Texas Shuffle (song)," said the Texas Country Music Awards winning artist to me. "We wrote it in about an hour. I knew what I wanted the groove to be like. I said what if I start the song with the chorus. The chorus is so hooky. The day we cut it...at Studio Phoenix Mark, the bass player, was having problems. Terry walked in...he said, ‘Walk the bass line' and that made the record."

A North Carolina native who is based in Nashville, Trey Calloway started singing in the church and by the time he was 10 years-old he was a professional singer. As a teen Trey's roots were in Contemporary and Southern Gospel. He then found a passion for the storytelling that comes with Country music and that has been is home ever since. He went on to perform as the opening act for Joe Diffie, Tracy Lawrence, McBride and The Ride, Pat Green, Edwin McCain, and Craig Campbell. He has performed in such venues as NASCAR Festival, the House of Blues, and The Tennessee State Fair Opry Stage - to name a few.

"It's about betrayal," Calloway said to me about the new "She Don't Break It" single as we ended our interview.  www.TreyCallowayMusic.com
