Ella Langley Names the Next Top Female Country Superstar: “She’s Just One Song Away”

Ella Langley Tops 2025 ACM Awards Nominations: Full List

Spending years trying to break into country music, Ella Langley eventually found her footing when she recorded hit songs like “Could’ve Been Her”, “That’s Why We Fight”, and “Girl You’re Taking Home.” Continuing to explore her career, she found herself teaming up with Riley Green for the song “You Look Like You Love Me.” That single song helped launch her career into the spotlight. And now, as the New Female Artist of the Year, Langley decided to name the one singer she thought was about to break out.

Appearing on The Scotty Kay Show, Langley was asked about the next big female singer to come from Nashville. With years of experience, the country singer knew about the rising stars in country music. And with countless aspiring artists to pick from, she turned to none other than Carter Faith.

Seeing a great deal of herself in Faith, Langley explained, “I think that Carter Faith is going to have a massive (year)… She’s so creative, and she’s just right. She’s just one song away. I feel like she’s exactly where I was.” She continued, “I felt like I was one song away, and I really was just one song away. I think Carter is somebody who’s going to be around for a long time.”

For Langley, she once stood right where Faith was when needing that extra push to break through. That happened thanks to “You Look Like You Love Me.” And looking at the career of Faith, she already made her Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022. That same year, she released the single “Already Crazy.”

Outside of the recording studio, in 2023, Faith even hit the road as the opening act for Ingrid Andress. Knowing that it was only a matter of time, fans couldn’t get enough of Faith as her song “If I Had Never Lost My Mind” received comments like:

“Oh my God, what a song. What lyrics, and what a voice!! Thank you for these gifts Carter, never stop making songs, please.”

“What a great song!!! Your voice has come so far over the years and it truly shows in this song. Definitely want more like this from you in the future!”

“Truly the most amazing song I’ve ever heard, I mean that from the depths of my heart, thank you for this incredibly beautifully deep masterpiece.”

With Langley cheering for Faith and her career, the only question is – which one song will take the singer to the top?
