Ella Langley announced her long-awaited sophomore album, Dandelion, will arrive April 10th. Dandelion was executive-produced by Miranda Lambert (who is also one of the co-writers on her smash hit song “Choosin’ Texas”) and Ben West, and will be available on limited edition signed honey bee yellow colored vinyl, standard puffball white colored vinyl, and standard CD.
The album announcement was accompanied by a video narrated by Langley, in which she explains the concept behind the album: “Dandelions are masters of survival, thriving in even the harshest environments. Often dismissed as a common weed, this unassuming plant carries a deeper symbolism of hope, healing, and resilience. This next record to me has so much growth in it. I feel the most myself I’ve ever felt. I want you to dance. I want you to sing. I want you to be able to relate to these words in a way where you don’t feel alone in your thoughts. I want you to not even worry about anything and daydream and listen to these songs. I want you to enjoy them with your friends and family. And I’ve thought about this record every single day for the last year and a half. And I’m so excited to finally say, welcome to Dandelion.”
Langley added in a statement: “This record has so much growth in it. I’ve never poured more of myself into a project, into a song, into an idea, and it’s fallen out so beautifully. It’s about learning yourself, making mistakes, and realizing that it’s all just part of life … I want this record to be something that fans can relate to, but also something they want to get up and dance to at the same time. To me, this record feels like fireflies in the summertime. It feels like windows down on a red dirt road. It feels like the best kind of Sunday afternoon.” Langley also noted: “I learned that dandelion tea is actually a natural detox for the liver. So a record called Dandelion after a record called hungover made all the sense in the world to me.”…
