Shania Twain likes Ella Langley‘s style.
In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, July 22, the “You’re Still the One” singer was asked if Langley’s rapid rise to success reminded her of her own breakthrough in the ‘90s.
“I see her as an authentic songwriter,” Twain, 60, told the outlet. “She sounds original.”
“That’s already a bonus, right? So we already can hear the difference, and she really does seem very unapologetic,” she continued. “That commands respect. I sense that in her, in her aura, and her persona, and the way she delivers a song. I believe what she’s saying.”
Twain’s comments about Langley come after the “Be Her” singer posted a cover of “You’re Still the One” on TikTok and captioned the post, “I’ll never get over this song.”
In the comments section, Twain wrote, “So flattered ❤️Loved getting to connect at ACMs xx”
Meanwhile, in an interview with USA Today ahead of the ACM Awards in May, Twain opened up about her excitement to meet Langley.
At the time, Twain said the “Choosin’ Texas” singer, 27, “brings me back to the early country that I grew up with and was singing as a child.”
“I’ve heard a lot of producers and writers say, ‘Well, we don’t want to be too country,’ or, ‘That’s too country.’ And I’m thinking, ‘What is too country?’ So Ella Langley to me is really country Western and I’ve missed that in the genre,” she said at the time.
Twain is currently gearing up for the release of her new studio album Little Miss Twain on July 26. So far, she’s released singles “Little Miss Twain,” “Dirty Rosie” and “Faded Blue Jeans.”
Speaking with Rolling Stone, the singer-songwriter said the album is “a reflection on the whole journey of a pre-recording artist — it’s the songwriter trying to eventually make it to Nashville, around that big round conference table.”
