Drake Previews R&B-Style Take on Ella Langley’s "Choosin' Texas"

A DJ-set clip suggests a slowed R&B reinterpretation that could signal a high-profile hip-hop–country crossover with licensing and release plans still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • A clip from a Toronto DJ set circulated showing Drake previewing what sounds like a slowed, R&B-flavored version of Ella Langley’s hit "Choosin' Texas."
  • Drake had publicly praised Langley this year and was seen singing along and meeting her backstage at a recent North Little Rock concert, prompting collaboration speculation.
  • Neither Drake nor Langley has confirmed that the remix will be officially released or cleared, leaving the clip’s commercial status unresolved.
  • Early online reaction is mixed, with some fans criticizing the altered, slower arrangement and others treating the preview as a playful, informal rendition.
  • The stakes for any official remix are high because "Choosin' Texas" has been a major commercial smash, and a formal release could broaden Langley’s mainstream audience and cross-genre appeal.
