Ella Langley - weren’t for the wind | Vevo DSCVR Artists To Watch 2025

Excuse me, you look like you could use some Ella Langley in your life. With a voice like top-shelf whiskey splashed on an ex-lover’s shirt and set ablaze, the Alabama native has been hot on the country scene in 2024. The big spark came from her straight-out-the-saloon waltz “you look like you love me.” The flirty duet with Riley Green is country music at its best: sparkling piano and slide guitars, wry lyricism, and an imperfect romance. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 over the summer. The subsequent arrival of her ‘hungover’ album proved that where there’s smoke there’s fire. Tracks such as the simmering power ballad “nicotine” and rollicking “better be tough” recall the outlaw versatility of Miranda Lambert and pop capabilities of Kacey Musgraves. A couple years back, Ella moved from Hope Hull (pop. 4,000) to the Mecca of music, Nashville, where she paid dues at bars, honkytonks, and local festivals. Word spread about her ‘Excuse The Mess’ EP, and soon opening slot invites were rolling in from Jon Pardi, HARDY, Morgan Wallen and Luke Bryan. At the end of the day, however, Ella only needs Ella. “Hate to break your buckle, baby, you ain’t the only John Wayne here,” she warns on “cowboy friends.” “In the spur of the moment, some other boots could buy me a beer.” A little bit like the hair of the dog, Ella and her band cured all our nerves during her Artists To Watch shoot. “hungover” and “weren’t for the wind” came out sounding rich and fiery. Easy to knock back, with just the right amount of bite.
