“It changed my life…a little bit the music but mainly the bangs.’  When Ella Langley credited her haircut as the reason for her success she was only half joking. Go back and watch her old videos and you can see how much the fringe has helped to elevate her whole artistic persona. Her ability to hone the classic seventies look and musical sound of Jessi Colter and Stevie Nicks into something distinctive, modern and yet still traditionally country has sent her into the stratosphere. 

Breaking a female artist into the country music mainstream has been notoriously difficult, breaking a female country artist into an all genre superstar without them having to sing pop music feels like an fairytale. Ella’s living it. She’s only 26. She’s writing from the heart and clearly working with a brilliant team who understand the modern social media landscape. Her last album ‘Hungover’ leaned into the hard drinking, heartbroken persona with enough glamour to appeal across the board. But this new album ‘Dandelion’ feels like a step up to a whole other level altogether.
