Ella Langley is officially stepping into her next chapter as the fast-rising country artist has announced her sophomore album, Dandelion, arriving April 10, and it feels like a confident exhale from an artist who knows exactly who she is now.

Following the momentum of her acclaimed 2024 debut hungover, Langley says this record reflects real growth. Not just as a songwriter, but as a person learning herself in real time. She describes Dandelion as a collection born from mistakes, healing, and the realization that becoming yourself is rarely tidy. That honesty is already baked into the project’s tone, which leans breezy and lived-in rather than overly polished.

The title track “Dandelion” drops this Friday, January 30, giving fans their first official taste of the album. The song was co-written by Langley alongside Joybeth Taylor, Austin Goodloe, and Brett Tyler, and comes paired with an official visualizer. The album itself was executive produced by Langley with Miranda Lambert and Ben West, a pairing that signals both creative trust and sharp artistic intent.

One of the biggest indicators that Langley is operating on a different level now is the continued rise of her current single “Choosin’ Texas.” The track is sitting Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a third consecutive week, while also landing Top 5 at country radio. With more than 240 million streams already logged, it has become her biggest solo release to date and a clear tone-setter for what’s coming next.

Langley leans into the symbolism of the album title in a way that feels deeply personal. Dandelions thrive where they are not supposed to, often dismissed as weeds while quietly doing their thing anyway. She has described the record as easy and effortless on the surface, something you can dance to or let play in the background of everyday life, while still carrying emotional weight for anyone who wants to listen closer.

Dandelion is available now for preorder across multiple formats, including limited edition signed Honey Bee Yellow vinyl, standard Puffball White vinyl, and CD. With a chart-climbing single, a thoughtful creative vision, and a clear sense of purpose, this album positions Ella Langley as more than a breakout story. It is the sound of an artist settling into her voice.
