"Ella Langley is a young country star originally from Alabama. She's had a hell of a 18 month run: album last year was called Hungover. Beautiful, sad, husky-voiced music. And this is a new Ella Langley single. It's called Choosing Texas. In the song Ella's the victim, she convinced somebody to fall in love with her. And then she made the crucial mistake of taking him back to Texas, where his original love waited."
"This is almost like a blues-like incantation of what it means to be on the wrong side of a dumping. So this is a sad song to listen to although it does have a little bit of a wry sense of humor. But I think what I'm realizing is the more down and bummed Ella Langley gets, the more you're going to want to be paying attention."
