Overview
- Langley’s sophomore album, which arrived Friday, opened at No. 1 on the iTunes Top Albums chart according to Forbes and Apple rankings.
- Lead single “Choosin’ Texas” extends its chart dominance, with five nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and a record run for a woman country artist while also topping key country charts.
- Miranda Lambert co-produced the album with Langley and Ben West, co-wrote “Choosin’ Texas,” and appears on the duet “Butterfly Season.”
- Critics highlight a vintage-leaning sound that nods to ’70s and ’80s country-pop, a cover of Kitty Wells’ “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” and folk bookends built on the traditional tune “Froggy Went a Courtin’.”
- Langley enters the release with seven ACM nominations and a busy tour plan that includes headlining arenas, Stagecoach, and support dates with Morgan Wallen, with broader Billboard 200 impact to follow after the week’s sales and streams are tallied.
