Emerging Alabama country artist cancels performance at festival but will release new music on Friday
Alabama’s country music scene is abuzz with news surrounding rising star Ella Langley. Fresh off her success at the ACM Awards and a standout performance at the Sand in My Boots festival, Langley continues to make waves in the music industry. Despite having to cancel a recent festival appearance, Langley has exciting news for her fans – a new song set to be released soon.
Hailing from Hope Hull, Alabama, Langley gained widespread acclaim with her 2024 album “Hungover” and her popular duet with fellow Alabamian Riley Green, “You Look Like You Love Me.” The anticipation for her upcoming music is palpable, as Langley recently shared a preview of a new song on social media. While the musical style of this track differs from her previous hits, it tells a story of love at first sight, with lyrics that resonate with many: “All of my friends can’t quit talking about you, They’ve never been like this before, The way that you turn every head that’s around you, The second you walk through the door.”
Collaborating with seasoned songwriters Hardy and Jordan Schmidt, Langley’s new song, “Never Met Anyone Like You,” is set to be released on Friday, June 27. Fans can look forward to yet another catchy tune from the talented artist. However, Langley recently faced a setback when she had to withdraw from her scheduled performance at the Hoofbeat country festival in Wisconsin, citing unforeseen circumstances. Despite this, she is set to perform at other upcoming events, including shows in Sioux City, Iowa, and Madison, Wisconsin.
In a surprising revelation, Langley shared her fear of whales during a recent interview on the syndicated radio show “Taste of Country Nights.” Expressing her trepidation about the massive sea creatures, Langley admitted, “They’re big and they might eat me and I don’t like it.” This quirky detail sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of the rising star’s personality, adding a touch of whimsy to her public image.
While Langley’s fear of whales may seem unexpected, it did not hinder her performance at the Sand in My Boots festival. Reflecting on her past experiences at music festivals like Hangout, Langley’s memories are filled with joy and nostalgia. As she navigates the highs and lows of the music industry, Langley’s authenticity and talent continue to captivate audiences across the country.
As fans eagerly await the release of Langley’s new music and upcoming performances, the Alabama-born artist remains a formidable force in the world of country music. With her distinctive voice, heartfelt lyrics, and down-to-earth charm, Ella Langley is poised to achieve even greater success in the years to come.
