Ella Langley Stays True to Her Roots on Introspective New Album ‘Dandelion’: Stream It Now

The country star explores heartbreak, love, loss, faith and more on the new set.

Ella Langley‘s “Choosin’ Texas” has planted its roots at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for five nonconsecutive weeks, but on her new album, Dandelion, she proves that the array of songs on the project are just as grounded in her ever-evolving artistic outlook as they are in her Alabama upbringing.

Across 16 songs (with the album bookended by Langley’s take on the traditional folk poem “Froggy Goes A-Courtin'”), Langley explores heartbreak, love, loss faith, and her unwavering dedication to being exactly who she is. Some songs are entrenched in soft-focused, acoustic-driven melodies, such as “Speaking Terms” and “Most Good Things Do,” but she also showcases her prowess with a ’90s country-leaning barnburner with “I Gotta Quit.”
