Ella Langley Shines With New Single ‘Choosing Texas,’ Major Award Nominations, and a Heart for Giving Back
Country music’s rising powerhouse Ella Langley is closing out 2025 on a high note — with new music, award nominations, and a cause close to her heart.
The Alabama-born singer-songwriter, known for her soulful vocals and sharp storytelling, has released her highly anticipated new single, “Choosing Texas,” a collaboration with Miranda Lambert that’s already generating major buzz in the country scene. The song, co-written by Langley and Lambert, captures the emotional tug between love and home, a theme deeply rooted in Lambert’s Texas heritage and Langley’s Southern storytelling flair.
“Writing with Miranda was a dream come true,” Langley shared in a recent statement. “She’s been such an influence on me as both an artist and a woman in country music. ‘Choosing Texas’ is about loyalty — to a person, to a place, and to yourself.”
Set for official release on October 17, the song blends traditional country instrumentation with modern production, showcasing Langley’s seamless ability to bridge eras while keeping her sound authentic and fresh.
A Heart for Rescue
Beyond her chart success, Langley is proving her heart is as big as her voice. Earlier this fall, she hosted a sold-out benefit concert at The Listening Room in Nashville to raise funds for Pawsitive Rescue Division, a nonprofit organization dedicated to responsible dog rescue and adoption.
The event — featuring performances from Kameron Marlowe, Aaron Raitiere, and Langley herself — included a live auction with exclusive fan prizes such as handwritten lyrics and VIP tickets to her upcoming Ryman Auditorium show. Proceeds went directly to helping provide shelter, medical care, and homes for rescue dogs.
Langley’s love for animals and her commitment to giving back have only strengthened her bond with fans, many of whom praised her authenticity on social media.
Recognition and Growth
The year 2025 has been a milestone for Langley. She earned five ACM Award nominations and six CMA nods, marking her arrival among the industry’s elite. Meanwhile, her duet with Kameron Marlowe, “Strangers,” recently achieved RIAA Gold certification, solidifying her growing influence in country music.
Fans can also look forward to Langley’s upcoming studio album, expected in 2026. The project promises to continue her evolution as an artist, weaving traditional country roots with modern themes of resilience, love, and identity.
“Every record I make is a piece of who I am,” Langley said. “This next one feels like coming home.”
A Star on the Rise
Langley’s ongoing tour — with stops in Salt Lake City, Houston, and Nashville — continues to draw sold-out crowds, reflecting her meteoric rise in the genre. Blending Alabama grit with Nashville polish, she’s quickly become one of country music’s most dynamic new voices.
From small-town stages to sold-out venues, Ella Langley’s journey is one of determination, heart, and authenticity. With new collaborations, a powerful new single, and a spirit of giving back, she’s not just shaping her career — she’s shaping the future of modern country music.
