The Gardener & The Flower is the third single from Beccy Cole\u2019s much anticipated ninth solo studio album \u2018Through the Haze\u2019 due for release in early 2026. It follows from the high performing second single \u2018More Cows Than Cowgirls\u2019 and the ANZAC Day release of Poster Girl 20th Anniversary Version.\u000f\u000fThe Gardener & The Flower likens a partnership in life and love to tending a garden and highlights the benefits of a couple taking it in turns being the gardener or the flower.\u000f\u000fBeccy was inspired by a podcast conversation between Rosie O\u2019Donnell and Kate Langbroek on the cusp of Rosie\u2019s Australian Tour. \u201cRosie spoke beautifully about realising that for a romantic relationship to work, one person needs to be the nurturer, the other needs to allow themselves to be helped. The trick is to swap roles and to know when it\u2019s time to do so. She likened the process to a gardener and a flower, and I picked up the guitar with the chorus fully formed in my head,\u201d says Beccy.\u000f\u000fBeccy\u2019s storytelling is powerful, evocative and draws on her memories of her grandparents, both avid gardeners and together, shared a life of more than 60 years. \u201cWe had Grandma right up until just before her 104th birthday in 2023, she remains my biggest inspiration in life, she\u2019s with me always,\u201d Beccy says of her late grandmother, Gloria.\u000f\u000fThe Gardener & The Flower highlights the beautiful guitarwork of Julz Parker who also plays harmonica and sings harmony alongside Leesa Gentz. Parker, Gentz and drummer, Ali Foster all feature on Beccy\u2019s recordings and can be experienced as part of Beccy\u2019s touring band, Sisters of Twang.\u000f
\u201cThrough the Haze\u201d was recorded over two sessions at The Rabbit Hole recording studios with Dingo music productions along with Beccy\u2019s band, Sisters of Twang, Jet McCormack and Ricky Albeck. It was mixed by award winning producer and engineer, Matt Fell. \u201cThere\u2019s no single producer on this record\u201d, Beccy says \u201cI surrounded myself with my favourite people and we all had exactly the same input. I can\u2019t wait to share the collection.\u201d\u000f\u000fWhile Beccy claims to have \u201cgone easy\u201d so far, she admits there are a few \u2018bangers\u2019 to come that hit home hard about her divorce, many with her trademark sense of humour. Fans won\u2019t have to wait much longer for the new album to drop.\u000f\u000fThe Gardener & The Flower is released Friday 16 January 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
