Ella Langley’s Famous Fans

Fleetwood isn’t the only music icon who’s expressed his love for Langley. In fact, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Shania Twain gushed over the “Choosin’ Texas” singer.

โ€œIโ€™ve never met Ella Langley, but just from what Iโ€™m observingโ€ฆ she seems very authentic,โ€ Twain said. โ€œShe doesnโ€™t come across to them as somebody thatโ€™s trying to be somebody else, or trying to write a song thatโ€ฆ with an agenda. I see her as an authentic songwriter.โ€

On top of Langleyโ€™s songwriting skills, Twain noted that the โ€œBe Herโ€ singer โ€œsounds originalโ€ too.

โ€œThatโ€™s already a bonus, right? She does have a unique sound,โ€ Twain said. โ€œSo now we already can hear the difference.โ€

โ€œShe really does seem very unapologetic, and I think that commands respect. It really does,โ€ she added. โ€œIโ€™m not sorry that Iโ€™m a girl, and if I donโ€™t make it, then Iโ€™m still gonna get up on stage and sing. I sense that in her aura and her persona.โ€

Twain further noted that, since Langley writes her songs, that โ€œmakes her more authentic.โ€

โ€œShe means it. I believe her, I believe what sheโ€™s saying,โ€ Twain said. โ€œI donโ€™t think sheโ€™s just making up songs, I think sheโ€™s saying what she really thinks.โ€

Langleyโ€™s success has been nothing short of remarkable.

โ€œChoosinโ€™ Texas,โ€ which has been certified four times Platinum, has spent 14 weeks in the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100. The song has tied Mariah Careyโ€™s โ€œWe Belong Togetherโ€ and Whitney Houstonโ€™s โ€œI Will Always Love Youโ€ for the most weeks at No. 1 among non-holiday titles by women with no male-billed acts.
