Rising Alabama country star Ella Langley has purchased a lakefront home near her parents in the Montgomery area as a vacation spot from her busy life in Nashville.

“It just brings me back to who I am at the root of me every time I go back there,” she recently told Audacy’s Katie Neal.

“And when it comes to writing songs and being in that state of mind, I think it’s important to have a place like that.”

“I think I’ll always have to live in Tennessee to some extent in my life, but being from Alabama, it’s so close,” she continued.

“It’s under four hours to get there.”

Langley, a Hope Hull native, has been riding high on the success of her 2024 album “Hungover” and her smash duet with fellow Alabamian Riley Green, “You Look Like You Love Me.”

In May, the singer took home five Academy of Country Music awards, then appeared at the inaugural Sand in My Boots festival a few days later.

“I’m still out of breath a little, and I feel like I kind of have been since this song came out,” she said at the awards ceremony.

While she has teased new music, Langley told Audacy fans still have a while to wait before her next album.

“My next record’s not going to be out until 2026,” she said.

“I feel like people move on from their records so fast…and I think there’s something to be said with taking your time with making the record and putting all those pieces in place where it can last a long time, last in a way where fans can keep digging into it and digging into it and finding new songs that they love and finding new little pieces about the record that’s different.”
