Ella Langley’s ‘Dandelion’ (SAWGOD/ Columbia Records)
Ella Langley not only chose the title of her second album very deliberately, she decided on Dandelion long ago.
“I’m so excited for these new songs,” she tells ABC Audio. “We’ve been working so hard on it. … I’ve known the title for this record, I mean, over a year now. It’s been like a year and a half.”
“So it’s really been a long process, but [I] wanted to take the time and live a little life in between my records and, you know, kinda grow up a little bit,” she says. “And, I don’t know, it’s the next chapter of me. It’s not just [as] an artist, but [as] a human.”
The Alabama native will celebrate her 27th birthday on May 3.
Part of Ella’s journey turned out to be canceling a couple weeks of shows last August and going back home to spend time with her family, something she revealed when she put out the album’s “Loving Life Again.”
The release announcing the record explained more about the title’s significance, saying, “Dandelions are masters of survival, thriving in even the harshest environments. Often dismissed as a common weed, this unassuming plant carries a deeper symbolism of hope, healing, and resilience.”
Ella added that dandelion tea is a natural detox for the liver, something she thought fitting since her debut album was called hungover.

Don’t let the laughs go by when listening to Bush.
On the song “I Beat Loneliness,” the title track off the “Glycerine” band’s 2025 album, frontman Gavin Rossdale sings, “I beat the internet,” which is arguably a greater accomplishment than beating loneliness. As Rossdale tells ABC Audio, that line is an example of his sense of humor.
“Thing is, is I have a laugh, and I think I’m quite funny,” Rossdale says. “I’m surprisingly funny. I’m English and very dry.”
However, Rossdale finds that humor isn’t exactly easy to translate through music.
“That’s really hard to get across in music, it’s really difficult, it has been almost impossible for me,” Rossdale says. “So when I make bold statements, like ‘I beat the internet/ I’m a silhouette,’ it just fills me with glee as a writer that I finally did something vaguely whimsical.”
You’ll also hear Rossdale sing, “Got married in Vegas,” on “I Beat Loneliness,” which he says is a fictional detail added to the track.
“It’s the single line that’s not autobiographical,” Rossdale says. “The rest of it is me whining about myself.”
Bush will launch a U.S. tour in support of I Beat Loneliness Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
Bruno Mars is kicking off his The Romantic Tour April 10 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, but before he takes the stage, the entire city will be celebrating.
A free “Bruno Mars Day Parade” will step off at 1 p.m. that day at the Bellagio Fountains and end at Toshiba Plaza, which will be open to fans starting at 11 a.m. Bruno himself will be part of the event, which will be viewable from the sidewalks in front of the Bellagio, Cosmopolitan and Park MGM resorts. Park MGM is where Bruno’s had a residency for years.
After the parade reaches Toshiba Plaza, located in front of the T-Mobile Arena, the city’s Park Avenue will then be renamed Bruno Mars Drive, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. The publication notes that MGM Resorts ran the idea past Bruno in October as part of his birthday celebration, and “he was thrilled,” an executive says.
According to the paper, the parade will feature marching bands, double-decker buses, live music, vintage cars and women firing off t-shirt cannons. “Because it is Mars, we can’t rule out a performance should the mood strike him,” notes the Review Journal.
And because it’s Bruno Mars Day, the publication says the event will also feature a ceremonial state flag from Nevada governor Joe Lombardo, and a proclamation from Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson.
Bruno and his band have drawn some 800,000 fans to Park MGM over the years; he also opened up a nightclub, The Pinky Ring, at Bellagio, another MGM Resorts property. Will he resume his residency after his tour? An MGM Resorts exec told the Review-Journal, “I mean, absolutely, yeah, I would love it. I can’t speak for Bruno, but we have an incredible partnership with this man.”
