Ella Langley isn’t just thinking about what’s next—she’s thinking bigger.
As the Alabama native prepares to release her highly anticipated sophomore album Dandelion, she’s already stepping beyond the boundaries of country music, imagining collaborations that reach into entirely different sounds and styles.
Following the massive success of “Choosin’ Texas,” a chart-dominating hit that pushed her into a new level of stardom, Langley has found herself in a rare position—one where the doors to crossover opportunities are wide open. The song didn’t just resonate within country circles; it broke through on a larger scale, expanding her audience and redefining what her music can be.
And she’s ready to explore that.
During a recent red carpet interview at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Langley shared a glimpse into her dream collaborations—and the names she mentioned weren’t what many expected.
Instead of staying strictly within country, she pointed toward artists like John Mayer and Bruno Mars—two musicians known for their distinct styles and global appeal. At the same time, she didn’t leave her roots behind, noting that a collaboration with Lainey Wilson is still high on her list, along with powerhouse voices like Chris and Morgane Stapleton.
It’s a mix that says a lot about where Langley is headed.
Part of her appeal has always been her willingness to evolve—never staying in one lane, always experimenting, always growing. That same mindset now extends to the artists she hopes to work with, blending country storytelling with influences that reach far beyond it.
With the momentum she’s built, these collaborations don’t feel out of reach—they feel possible.
And if her recent run has proven anything, it’s that Ella Langley isn’t just following a path.
She’s creating one.
