Ella Langley has struck gold with her new album, Dandelion, marrying her Alabama roots with a refreshing take on modern country. With 16 tracks that span the emotional spectrum from heartbreak to self-discovery, she proves that authenticity is the secret ingredient to success. Notably, her collaboration with Miranda Lambert on “Butterfly Season” hints at the growth and maturity both artists embrace in their music.
The album showcases Langley’s versatility, from tender, acoustic ballads like “Speaking Terms” to the lively ’90s-infused track “I Gotta Quit.” Listeners will also enjoy a soulful rendition of Kitty Wells’ classic “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.” Alongside these heartfelt melodies, Ella has also created a powerful portrait of herself as a woman aiming for confidence and community, especially in tracks like “Be Her.”
Now, if you combine all this talent with the fact that Langley has received seven nominations for the upcoming ACM Awards—including female artist of the year and single of the year for“Choosin’Texas”—you know this is an artist to watch. With a sound this engaging, who knows how high her star will rise? One thing’s for sure: Ella Langley isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!
