Songwriter, producer, artist, and music executive Terrance Darnell Howell is making waves with “Bubbles,” a new radio single featuring Shelah (Kerri Williams) from his album VULNERABLE II: GRACE & CONFLICT. Blending R&B with a powerful message, “Bubbles” explores what happens when God challenges the spaces we’ve built around ourselves, making room for greater growth, purpose, and transformation.
“Bubbles” has a relatable message about the difference between genuine peace and becoming too comfortable in familiar surroundings. Through the metaphor of bubbles, Howell examines routines, relationships, expectations, and identities that can become protective barriers keeping us from becoming who God has called us to be.
“I realized that everything comfortable isn’t necessarily where God intends for us to stay,” Howell shares. “Sometimes we call something peace because nothing is challenging us anymore. Bubbles came from recognizing that God loved me enough not to let comfort become the ceiling over my life.”
Anchored by the infectious refrain, “Pop my bubbles / Yeah, burst my space / When I get too settled / You shift my place,” the single invites listeners to embrace the uncomfortable moments that can lead to spiritual and personal breakthroughs. Rather than presenting faith as a destination of perfection, Howell offers an honest reflection on the ongoing journey of surrender, vulnerability, and becoming.
“Bubbles” also highlights the creative vision behind VULNERABLE II: GRACE & CONFLICT, which explores faith, emotional honesty, and the tension between comfort and change. The project features Shelah, the AI artist and alter ego Howell created to bring another perspective to the album’s emotional conversations. Her role complements the contributions of living collaborators, including Joseph Stallings, III and Sam Lovelock, alongside real vocals, live musicianship, songwriting, and contemporary production.
Beyond the music, “Bubbles” official music video serves as a visual journey centered on authenticity, healing, surrender, and removing the masks people often wear to protect themselves. Its message is both timely and timeless: sometimes growth requires letting go of what feels safe to discover what is possible.
