Ella Langley

Ella Langley is just the kind of maverick country music needs. She’s got a rafter-reaching voice, and she’s a straight-shootin’ songwriter who pulls no punches when it comes to life, love, and everything else under the sun. Spiking her unfiltered true stories with unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll grit and unassuming pop appeal, she’s quietly emerged as a phenomenon with millions of streams and a growing fan base. Hailing from Hope Hull, Alabama, she tirelessly gigged in bars and at local festivals before relocating to Nashville in 2019.

 

 

 

 

 

She built an audience on social media with a series of singles. Her songs “If You Have To” (2021), “Damn You” (2022), and “Country Boy’s Dream Girl” (2022) have continuously fueled her momentum with tens of millions of streams on each track. Simultaneously, she landed high-profile cuts behind-the-scenes. She co-wrote Elle King’s 2022 single “Out Yonder '' in addition to four more tracks on Come Get Your Wife. As a formidable performer, she quickly started touring with the likes of Jon Pardi, Koe Wetzel, Randy Houser, Cody Johnson, and Jamey Johnson in addition to sharing the stage with Lainey Wilson and Parker McCollum. Meanwhile, Spotify pegged her as a “Hot Country Artist to Watch for 2023” and she made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry in February of that year.

 

 

 

 

 

Flexing showstopping vocals, a razor-sharp pen, and no filter whatsoever, she formally introduced her signature style on her 2023 debut EP, Excuse The Mess [Columbia Records/SAWGOD], in May. The EP clocked over 120 million total streams in less than a year’s time, earning praise from The Tennessean, WhiskeyRiff and more. This momentum further propelled Ella to be named to CMT’s 2024 LISTEN UP Roster and their Next Women of Country Class of 2024, as well as to the Opry NextStage Class of 2024. She was also included on ‘Artists To Watch’ lists from All Country News, The Country Wire, Holler Country and more.

 

 

She kicked off 2024 with “Strangers”, her duet with Kameron Marlowe, which impacted Country Radio in May. Soon after that release, Ella received her first CMT Music Awards Nomination for Collaborative Video of the Year for “That’s Why We Fight” feat. Koe Wetzel. She is also dominating the touring circuit this year with over 100 shows and tours supporting Riley Green, HARDY, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, and Morgan Wallen, while also weaving in her first ever North American headline tour, which nearly completely sold out. This landmark year was topped off even further with the release of her debut album, hungover, on August 2. Beyond tallying streams in the millions, it incited widespread critical applause. Music Row hailed it as “a fantastic display of the young artist’s boldness and creative assuredness,” and GRAMMY.com christened her “one of country’s most promising new stars.” Billboard also proclaimed it “an album that seems poised to showcase Langley as an intrepid artist with a fully developed perspective and a fine-tuned sound.”

 

 

The album features her massive hit single “you look like you love me” featuring Riley Green. The playful and captivating duet has achieved over 125 Million streams to date, earned both Ella and Riley their highest debuts on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the No. 1 most added song upon radio impact. The song has been nominated for a CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year and a People’s Choice Country Award for The Collaboration Song of 2024, all while it continues to spread across social media with over 1 Million posts using the song.

 

 

Ella continues to make 2024 a pivotal year for her career and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down!
