Ella Langley just lit up the internet with a simple, excited post that sent fans into overdrive: “Dandelion is out tonight!! The best co-producers: @mirandalambert & Ben West! Set your calendar!”
The announcement confirms what country music fans have been eagerly awaiting: her sophomore album Dandelion has officially landed on streaming platforms and in digital stores as of tonight, February 5, 2026. The 18-track project, released via SAWGOD/Columbia Records, follows her breakout debut Hungover and arrives loaded with personal growth, raw emotion, and the kind of fearless songwriting that has already made Langley one of the most talked-about voices in modern country.
The co-production credits alone are enough to turn heads. Miranda Lambert, a country icon known for her uncompromising authenticity, and Ben West, a respected Nashville hitmaker, join Ella herself as co-producers. The trio’s collaboration brings a blend of classic country soul, contemporary edge, and deeply introspective storytelling. Langley has described the album as her most personal work to date — a record born from a period of self-reflection, healing, and rediscovery after a whirlwind rise to fame.
“I’ve thought about this record every single day for the last year and a half,” Ella shared in a statement around the release. “I’m so excited to finally say: Welcome to Dandelionland.” That phrase — “Dandelionland” — has become a rallying cry among fans, symbolizing the album’s themes of resilience, hope, and wild, untamed growth. Dandelions, after all, are often seen as weeds — tough, persistent, able to thrive anywhere — yet they’re also beautiful and resilient, scattering seeds of new life wherever they land. It’s a perfect metaphor for Langley’s own journey: underestimated at first, now blooming everywhere.
The album arrives hot on the heels of major momentum. Her recent single “Choosin’ Texas” has been a top-10 staple on the Billboard Hot 100 and a top-five hit at country radio for weeks. Earlier tracks like “You Look Like You Love Me” (her viral duet with Riley Green) and “Hungover” helped establish her as a fresh, unfiltered voice — someone who sings about real life with a mix of grit, vulnerability, and swagger. Dandelion expands that sound, leaning into more reflective territory while keeping the rock-country energy that defines her.
The title track “Dandelion,” released as the lead single earlier this year, set the tone perfectly. Co-written by Ella with Joybeth Taylor, Austin Goodloe, and Brett Tyler, it’s a warm, guitar-driven reflection on coming back to life after hardship. The song’s gentle acoustic base and soaring chorus capture a sense of gratitude and renewal — themes that run throughout the full album. Live performances of the track, including a memorable debut at the Ryman Auditorium alongside ERNEST, have already become fan favorites, with audiences singing along word-for-word even though the studio version had just dropped.
Physically, Dandelion is available in multiple collector’s editions: a limited signed honey bee yellow colored vinyl, a standard puffball white colored vinyl, and a jewelcase CD. Pre-orders sold out quickly in some formats, and fans are already sharing unboxing videos and first-listen reactions across TikTok and Instagram. The visual aesthetic — soft yellows, wildflowers, handwritten notes — matches the album’s intimate, organic feel.
Ella’s rise has been anything but conventional. She broke through with raw honesty and a voice that feels lived-in, not manufactured. Her willingness to step away from the road last year to focus on personal growth only deepened her artistry. She’s spoken openly about needing to “refine” herself, to have hard conversations, and to rediscover gratitude. That pause produced Dandelion — a record that feels less like a follow-up and more like a declaration: I’m still here, I’m stronger, and I’m just getting started.
The timing couldn’t be better. Country music is in a golden era of female voices — women who write their own stories, own their sound, and refuse to be boxed in. Ella Langley fits right in that conversation, bringing a blend of outlaw spirit, Southern soul, and modern edge. With Miranda Lambert’s mentorship in the producer’s chair, the album carries the weight of legacy while pushing forward.
Fans are already calling Dandelion her best work yet. Early reactions highlight the emotional range: songs that make you cry in your car, tracks that make you turn the volume up on a highway drive, and moments that feel like a conversation with a close friend. The production — warm guitars, tasteful steel, intimate vocals — lets Ella’s voice take center stage without ever feeling overpolished.
As the album settles into streaming playlists and radio rotation, one thing is clear: Ella Langley isn’t just releasing music — she’s sharing a chapter of her life. “Lovin’ Life Again” might have been the first taste of that vulnerability, but Dandelion as a whole feels like a full bloom.
Set your calendar, pour a drink, and press play. Dandelionland is officially open — and it’s beautiful.
