Stockholm-based artist and songwriter Dandelion releases the first part of her debut album, My Sadness Needs Your Full Attention. Recorded at Traxton Studios in Stockholm, the album is being released across two discs.
“Disc 1 is what sadness feels like before you’ve figured out what to do with it. It’s loud, self- indulgent, romantic, ugly, and impossible to put down. It’s staying inside a feeling long after it’s stopped being useful, because in a way letting go of it feels worse. These songs live in that space where you’re not trying to heal yet. You just want someone to look at the mess with you and understand why it hurts.”

Describing herself as a “forever sad girl” drawn to melancholy and feeling everything intensely, Dandelion finds an outlet in My Sadness Needs Your Full Attention. Blending alternative pop with gut-wrenching lyrics, the album tackles heartbreak, identity, mental health, and finding your place within all the chaos.
The album opens with ‘Heavy Hearts Club’, a song that speaks to a feeling many of us have experienced at one time or another: being part of a relationship that is slowly fading, with both sides aware of what’s happening but unwilling to let go. Dandelion shares:
“‘Heavy Hearts Club’ is about seeing something slipping away and still trying to keep it alive for one more night. Sometimes you don’t fix the heartbreak, you just learn how to move inside it.”
With the first half of My Sadness Needs Your Full Attention now out in the world, listeners can look forward to the second disc, arriving in spring 2027.
