Ella Langley is just the kind of maverick country music needs. She’s got a rafter-reaching voice and is a straight-shootin’ songwriter who pulls no punches when it comes to life, love, and everything else under the sun. Hailing from Hope Hull, Alabama, she tirelessly gigged in bars and at local festivals before relocating to Nashville in 2019. Spiking her unfiltered true stories with unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll grit and unassuming pop appeal, she quietly emerged as a phenomenon with millions of streams and a growing fan base. Following a series of buzz-building singles and her debut EP Excuse The Mess in 2023, Ella arrived at a landmark moment in her career with the release of her debut 14-track album, hungover, on August 2, 2024. Co-writing every song on the album, Ella describes these songs as raw, fun, and emotional, and a peek into her diary entries. The New York Times and Rolling Stone both named hungover as one of their Best of 2024, while Music Row hailed it as “a fantastic display of the young artist’s boldness and creative assuredness.” The album includes her massive hit single “you look like you love me” featuring Riley Green, which marked Ella’s Billboard Hot 100 debut (Top 30) and received immediate widespread critical acclaim for its classic sound. The playful duet earned Ella her first No. 1 single on Country radio and made Ella the first and one of only two female artists to lead the Billboard Country Airplay Chart in 2024. The song’s worldwide popularity propelled it to No. 7 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, and Ella herself to six straight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart. The RIAA Platinum-certified hit also won ‘Musical Event of the Year’ at the CMA Awards. The song has been revered as one of the best of 2024 by Billboard, Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Times, Variety, Cosmopolitan, Holler Country and more. On the touring front, having supported names like Jon Pardi, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Riley Green, HARDY, Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley, Ella completely sold out her first-ever headline tour in 2024 and extended the run with more sold out shows in 2025. She is currently on tour as direct support on Riley Green’s North American ‘Damn Country Music Tour’ and will join Morgan Wallen later this summer for 8 stadium shows on his ‘I’m The Problem’ Tour. Ella emerged as the breakout star of the 2025 ACM Awards, earning the most nominations of any artist (8), and taking home the most wins (5), including New Female Artist of the Year as well as Single of the Year, Musical Event of the Year and Visual Media of the Year for “you look like you love me” (as artist + director). Ella still has plenty up her sleeve for the rest of 2025, including her new single “Never Met Anyone Like You (Feat. HARDY)”, and is no doubt one of country’s most promising new stars.
