Ella Langley applauded Carly Pearce’s rendition of “weren’t for the wind,” a song that appeared on the Alabama-born country star’s debut studio album.
Pearce recently honored “weren’t for the wind,” the Association of Independent Music Publishers Nashville Song of the Year, with her performance in Nashville, Tennessee. Pearce shared a clip of her performance on Instagram on Wednesday (April 15), and wrote in her caption, “this was one of my favorite songs from the past year, so I was honored to get to put my own spin on it last night [Tuesday, April 14].” Pearce expressed her gratitude, and congratulated Langley, her fellow songwriters Joybeth Taylor and Johnny Clawson, and publishers.
“Yes ma’am 🤍 you’re so talented 🫶🏻,” Langley replied in the comments.
Langley released her debut album, hungover, in August 2024. She extended it into a deluxe version, which followed months later. Most recently, the reigning iHeartRadio Music Awards Best New Country Artist delivered her highly-anticipated sophomore studio record, Dandelion. The 18-track record includes Langley’s history-making single, “Choosin’ Texas,” plus the title track, “Be Her,” “Loving Life Again,” “Bottom Of Your Boots,” “Butterfly Season” with Miranda Lambert, and more. Langley is gearing up for her headlining “Dandelion Tour” with special guests Kameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose and Laci Kaye Booth on select dates. See the dates here.
