Ella Langley has been redefining what the next wave of country music looks and sounds like, and Dandelion, her highly anticipated sophomore album, makes the most compelling case yet. Released April 10 on SAWGOD/Columbia Records, the 18-track record is the work of an artist who has found her footing and is ready to plant her flag. Co-produced by Langley alongside Miranda Lambert and Ben West, the album carries the weight and intention of something that has been carefully tended to. Themes of growth, hope, healing, and resilience run throughout, the symbolism of the dandelion itself woven into every corner of a record that feels both deeply personal and broadly resonant. Langley has described thinking about this record every single day for the past year and a half, and that devotion is audible. The album includes "Choosin' Texas," her number five Billboard Hot 100 hit, which introduced her magnetic voice and fearless songwriting to a massive new audience. Eighteen tracks deep and pressed on 140g puffball white vinyl across two records, Dandelion is a sophomore album that delivers on every bit of its promise.
