Dallas-born rapper, singer, and songwriter Paul Russell has released his new seven-song project ‘Miracle Mile,’ out now through Arista Records. Named after the Los Angeles neighborhood he now calls home, the EP reflects on the importance of community, friendship, and the moments that bring people back to the people who matter most.
Russell wrote much of the project during a year spent slowing down and reconnecting with family and friends. “Miracle Mile is about appreciating your community and the people you love,” he explains. Many of the songs were shaped by real conversations and everyday experiences, creating a reflective collection rooted in gratitude and personal growth.
Across the EP, Russell blends upbeat celebration with laid-back reflection. Songs like “High Maintenance” and “Party” carry the feel of a neighborhood cookout, while tracks such as “No Other Place” and “Last Thing I Do” lean into a calmer, more intimate mood. Russell will celebrate the release with a special live performance at Blue Note in Los Angeles on April 21.
