New Music Friday: Ella Langley, Morgan Wallen, Leon Majcen, Peech., & More

By Justin James | October 17, 2025

The week’s releases prove that good music knows no boundaries. From stadium-ready pop and heartfelt Americana to gritty alt-rock and introspective songwriting, artists across every genre are raising the bar. Charlie Puth sets the tone with the hopeful shimmer of “Changes,” while Morgan Wallen strips back the noise for a haunting reinterpretation of “Graveyard Whistling.” Country storytellers like Ella Langley (“Choosin’ Texas”) and Chancey Williams (“Past the Point of Rescue”) keep the genre’s heart beating strong, while Leon Majcen’s “Making a Livin’ (Not a Killin’)” and Colter Wall’s “Back to Me” celebrate raw, lived-in honesty.

Meanwhile, the rock and pop worlds refuse to sit still. Tame Impala returns with the introspective “My Old Ways,” 5 Seconds of Summer deliver punchy nostalgia with “Boyband,” and Flatland Cavalry tug at the heartstrings on “Gone.” Elsewhere, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, and Thomas Rhett with Niall Horan bring depth and legacy to the week’s lineup, while new voices like Peech., Ashley Ryan, and Hudson Westbrook offer a glimpse at the next wave of artistry. Whether you’re looking to unwind, reflect, or turn the volume all the way up, this week’s collection has a song for every moment.
