2xLP PUFFBALL COLORED VINYL

After scoring her first Top 40 hit in 2024, then charting respectably on the Billboard 200 with her debut album's working-class merger of country, pop, and struggle, Ella Langley reached the upper echelon of mainstream success with the chart-topping single "Choosin' Texas." A smash hit with months-long staying power that was co-written by Miranda Lambert, it helped Langley's debut LP leap to number 20, and the follow-up, Dandelion, went all the way to number one. A more ambitious outing with 19 tracks and an hour-long playing time, Dandelion offers a more hopeful state of mind, at least on average, with Langley planning to make some changes, like "drinking less and thinking more" (from her second Lambert collaboration, "Butterfly Season"). While this intent is telegraphed in track titles such as "Loving Life Again," obstacles still remain on her journey ("Last Call for Us," "Broken"), as does enough heartache -- new and lingering -- to keep the album under partly cloudy skies. Poppier moments like the warm, lightly disco-tinged "Be Her" that border on feel-good '70s soft rock are contrasted by rootsier ones like "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" and the dreamier "Last Call for Us," although most of the album lands on the spectrum in between. Produced by Langley, Lambert, and Ben West (who previously worked with artists spanning Ashley Monroe, Monsta X, and JR JR), Dandelion functions as both a sequel and an appealing fresh start.
