Ella Langley’s ‘Dandelion’ Album: Everything We Know Before April 10

Less than two years ago, Ella Langley was playing support slots and writing songs for other people. On April 10, 2026, she releases her sophomore album Dandelion a record backed by a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, a Miranda Lambert co production credit, and a surprise Keith Urban duet.

That trajectory is not accidental. It is the result of one of the fastest rises in modern country music.

If you want Ella Langley concert tickets for The Dandelion Tour, which kicks off May 7 in Toledo, Ohio, they are on sale now. But before you get there, here is the full picture on the album that is making all of it possible.

What Is the ‘Dandelion’ Album?

Dandelion is Ella Langley’s second studio album, releasing April 10, 2026, through SAWGOD Columbia Records. It follows her 2024 debut Hungover, which put her on the map with multiple Billboard Hot 100 entries and the Platinum duet “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green.

The new album contains 18 tracks. It is executive produced by Langley alongside Miranda Lambert and Ben West the same team that co wrote and co produced the lead single “Choosin’ Texas.”

Langley has been direct about what this record means to her. “I’m not guessing anymore. I’m not chasing anything,” she told Audacy. “This record is exactly what I wanted out of it, and it is just me. And I feel like this is gonna be my record where everyone’s gonna be like, ‘That’s where the artistry clicked for her.'”

The Title Track and What It Signals

The album’s title track, “Dandelion,” was released January 30, 2026, and it immediately set a different tone from anything Langley had released before.

Where “Choosin’ Texas” hit hard and fast, “Dandelion” is a slow burning groove built on finger picked guitar and warm pedal steel. The metaphor at the center of the song a dandelion thriving in a field of roses maps directly onto Langley’s own story: an Alabama girl with roots in Baptist church pews and her grandfather’s guitar, making it in Nashville without softening her edges.

She explained the album title with a piece of trivia she found fitting: dandelion tea is a natural liver detox. After an album called Hungover, a record called Dandelion made, in her words, “all the sense in the world.”

Early critical reception has been strong. Music Talkers described the title track as a “blossom of country soul,” while Maverick Country called it a “compact anthem of resilience.” Comparisons to Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour era have already surfaced, with critics noting the shift from the sharper energy of Hungover toward something warmer and more atmospheric.

‘Choosin’ Texas’ Made History First

The album’s lead single arrived months before the album announcement and rewrote the record books before the project even had a release date.

“Choosin’ Texas” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2026, making Langley the first female artist in history to simultaneously top the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts with the same song. The track surpassed 240 million streams before the album was even confirmed, and it became the top selling song of early 2026.

Co-written with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor at a songwriting retreat, the track started with a single offhand line. Lambert was telling a story, Langley said, and she replied, “Well, she’s from Texas, I can tell.” The room locked in immediately.

That session shaped the entire album’s creative DNA. Lambert is not just a co-writer on “Choosin’ Texas” she is an executive producer across the full 18-track project.

The Keith Urban Surprise

The detail most major outlets have glossed over: Dandelion features a duet with Keith Urban.

Langley revealed this while co-hosting Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton, describing the moment Urban reached out as something she did not see coming. Part of the album was also finished at Urban’s Nashville studio, The Sound.

“Imagine you’re me, and you get a text from Keith Urban,” Langley said. “When he reached out, I said, ‘Absolutely.’ We also finished up some of this album at his studio. One day, he was just there sitting on the couch, just hanging out. He just sat there and listened. It was really cool.”

Urban is one of country music’s most celebrated collaborators, with high profile duets alongside Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, P!nk, and Miranda Lambert herself. The pairing with Langley is one of the more compelling surprises on a record already full of them.

What’s on the Album

The full 18-track listing has not been released. Three songs are confirmed by name as of mid March 2026:

• “Choosin’ Texas” the lead single, Billboard Hot 100 No. 1
• “Dandelion” the title track, released January 30, 2026
• “Be Her” released as a promotional single in early 2026

A fourth track, “Loving Life Again,” is listed as track 8 on digital pre order platforms. The remaining 14 are currently unlisted on streaming services a deliberate move that has kept fan speculation running hot heading into April.

Langley has described the full album as a “love letter to simple summer days,” designed to be equally suited for close listening or carefree moments. The themes running through the project are identity, resilience, and growth not the morning after energy of Hungover, but something steadier and more earned.

Miranda Lambert’s Role and What It Means

Lambert’s involvement goes well beyond a single co write. As executive producer, she shaped the creative direction of an 18 track album a level of investment that is not typical for a featured collaborator.

Lambert has spoken openly about what she sees in Langley. “Ella may have grown up in Alabama, but she has a rowdy, fiery side that us Texas women recognize and respect,” Lambert said. “She’s an artist through and through, and it was important to me to let her artistry shine through at every stage of the process, from co writing to co producing.”

For Langley, having Lambert in the room was something she once treated as a long shot dream. The fact that it became an ongoing creative partnership one that now defines her second album is one of the more remarkable developments in recent country music.

Taking It on the Road

Dandelion releases April 10. The Dandelion Tour follows three weeks later.

Langley’s 16 date headlining arena run opens May 7 at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio, and closes August 15 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Support acts rotating across dates include Kameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose, and Laci Kaye Booth.

Separately, Langley will appear at Stagecoach (April 24), Rock The Country (May 1), and Railbird Music Festival (June 7) before serving as direct support on 10 dates of Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour. That run covers NFL and college stadiums from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to Philadelphia.

The scale of it is worth noting. A year ago, Langley was finishing up a headlining club level tour on the back of Hungover. Now she is filling arenas under her own name and playing stadiums as direct support for the biggest country act in the world. For a full look at what she is likely to perform, Langley’s expected Dandelion Tour setlist has been mapped out based on her recent touring pattern.

Physical Formats

Dandelion is available for pre order in three physical editions: Limited Edition Signed Honey Bee Yellow Colored Vinyl, Standard Puffball White Colored Vinyl, and a standard Jewelcase CD. All three are available through Langley’s official store.

The album art and its color palette tie directly into the dandelion symbolism warmth, sunlight, and something wild growing in an unexpected place.
