Last year, Double Platinum singer-songwriter Paul Russell released his debut EP, again sometime? The project was a mix of old favorites, like “Lil Boo Thang” and “Say Cheese,” and new jams like “Slippin’,” all expertly crafted to better tell Paul’s story. At the time, he mentioned that the EP was the first in a series of stories that he planned to share, with this collection focusing on love. While details about these future collections are yet to be shared, fans know that they are guaranteed songs that range from vibrant to classic—maybe even both! Those are just two words that describe Paul’s style, and he flaunts these characteristics on his newest single, “That Girl.”
On “That Girl,” Paul teams up with rap superstar Saweetie for a fun and feel-good track that is perfect for summer. It has lively beats, nostalgic record scratches, and lavish lyrics that are playful and narcissistic in the best way. While Paul sings, “It’s criminal, that girl is so fine / I’m cuffing you tonight, you’re all mine,” Saweetie confidently boasts, “So fine (Like mint condition) / So fine (I’m the definition).” You can check it out below.
Telling us more about “That Girl,” Paul shares,
“Long ago, there was a simpler time, when the jeans were baggier, the songs were lovey-er, and people actually danced at the club. Saweetie and I think the world needs a bit of that right now, so we’re bringing it back; welcome to the 90s. I love this song because it makes me want to move, and I think it’s gonna do the same for you.”
Saweetie adds,
“Me and Paul Russell were supposed to collaborate for some time, and we finally found the perfect record! When I heard ‘That Girl,’ I knew I had to be on it. It’s got a nostalgic summertime vibe that makes you want to have fun. It’s something for my ICY Girls to listen to when they want to tap into their confidence. Always remember you’re That Girl!”
