This playlist tracks what’s happening from the heart of the country scene to its outer edges. Find fan favourites you already love next to breakout stars and emerging voices. Topping the list this week is Ella Langley with her HARDY collaboration “Never Met Anyone Like You”, the latest single from the quickly rising country star. The track starts off sweet enough, as Langley tells a lover they’re one of a kind. By the song’s end, though, the vibe shifts—crunchy guitar kicks into gear, Langley dials up the emotion in her vocals, and it’s revealed that the “one in a million” love interest is actually a bit of a creep. Equal parts playful and painful, the song makes the most of the contrast between Langley’s agile twang and HARDY’s rock ’n’ roll grit, with an infectious melody to boot. This spring, Langley shared with fans that she is back in the studio working on a follow-up to her acclaimed full-length debut album hungover.
