J Terrell Makes Long-Distance Love Feel Close on "Over the Moon"

It’s not easy when loneliness hits you in the cold, when actually you’re not even lonely, it’s just that your person ain’t close and rather far away, so you don’t get to spend most of your moments with them. Now imagine those lonely nights where you looked at the moon and felt a little lonely because your person wasn’t standing right next to you and it hits you hard how everything is now a “how I wish”. Well J Terrell has a song for your playlist. The Dallas artist just dropped “Over the Moon,” and it is the perfect track for anyone who is currently dealing with a long-distance situation or just missing someone special.

J Terrell is becoming the “Northstar” of the Texas music scene. He previously gave us a wild mix of sounds on his album Cowboy Tango and some high-energy tracks like “Juice” and “Punch.” But with this new single, he is slowing things down. He wants us to get it, he wants us to feel it, he wants us to soak it all in and sigh. So he’s moving past the “El Dorado” vibes and leaning into something much more soulful and warm.

Now guess what? The track has that warmth, that feel and vibe which makes it the perfect track for this Valentine’s day, but don’t worry—it isn’t one of those cheesy, over-the-top romantic songs that makes you want to roll your eyes. Instead, it’s a moody R&B track that feels like a late-night drive. I love how the track starts, that calm and soothing melodies eases the listener and usher them into a romantic atmosphere where memories begins to pop up, feelings begins to strengthen and the soul begins to yearn for the presence of that special someone.

Yet the song creates this atmosphere that deals with the idea that love doesn’t just disappear when you aren’t in the same room as someone. It’s about that quiet trust and the feeling you get when you look at the stars and know the other person is looking at them too.

J Terrell has a way of making his music feel very grounded and real. His vocals are smooth but full of emotion, and the production has a dreamy, atmospheric quality that wraps around you. He says the song is a reminder that love is about what you feel in your heart, not just physical closeness. And this is something a lot of people don’t get, in as much as physical presence is needed, what matters is that heart loving you irrespective of distance. It’s a nice bit of reassurance for anyone who needs to hear that they’ll be okay.

I love how the song pans out, it doesn’t scream, it just sits right next to you and float you whilst you’re relaxing at home or reflecting on your own connections. To me J Terrell is proving that he can handle everything from country vibes to deep R&B without breaking a sweat.

Overall “Over the Moon” ain’t your regular romance song. It’s smooth, catchy and will leave you bonding more with that special someone with its melodious vocals, smooth sounds and the relaxing and assurance atmosphere it creates. So if you want a Valentine’s song that has a bit of depth and a lot of soul, this is the one.
