It\u2019s a bookend track to \u201cThe Summer\u201d, a reflective yet hopeful ballad about the journey of self-realisation, heartbreak, and renewal. The track beautifully pairs lush strings from South Australian composer <strong>Thea Martin<\/strong> with Cookie\u2019s poetic storytelling. It was produced by <strong>Mario Spate<\/strong> at <strong>Danger Deer Studios<\/strong> in Adelaide. The track showcases Spate\u2019s mastery of atmospheric sonic textures. This time the duet voice comes from <strong>Ollie English<\/strong>, giving the song depth and feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Cookie shares her thoughts on the track:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a song about navigating the complex layers of dissatisfaction in a relationship\u2014acknowledging the sadness, confronting the resignation, and yet still reaching for hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Singer Ollie English relates that what drew him to the song on first listen was the range and dynamics of Cookie\u2019s voice \u2013 from subtle whispers to roaring crescendos. <em>\u201cMy introduction to \u201cThe Winter\u201d was on this beautiful old piano at Cookie\u2019s house; she played the song back to front and I instantly connected with it,\u201d<\/em> he explains.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: The Winter\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/56PSnarHhK5ROomrBgDfIk?si=e6bd3da0ee8e4b6f&amp;utm_source=oembed\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Capturing the raw beauty of vulnerability and emotional resilience, \u201cThe Winter\u201d invites audiences to find solace and strength in their own journeys of renewal.<\/p>\n<p>2025 marks the release of new music for Holly \u2018Cookie\u2019 Baker, accompanied by touring throughout Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n<h4>Tour Dates:<\/h4>\n<p>5 October \u2013 Naarm \/ Melbourne \u2013 The Merri Creek Tavern with Ollie English \u2013\u00a0 Tickets <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/holly-cookie-baker-ollie-english\">HERE<\/a>.<br \/>10 October \u2013 Tarntanya \/ Adelaide \u2013 <strong>Salt Tree<\/strong> Australia Tour \u2013 Tickets <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/moshtix.com.au\/v2\/event\/salt-tree\/183131?clickId=UBbVNK27OxycRzv1992llxi7UkpwyF3ukUNfxI0&amp;ircid=13716&amp;camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_219208&amp;impradid=219208&amp;REFERRAL_ID=tmfeedbuyat219208&amp;wt.mc_id=aff_BUYAT_219208&amp;utm_source=219208-Bandsintown&amp;impradname=Bandsintown&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;irgwc=1#\">HERE <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Further 2025 tour dates to be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Winter\u201d is now available on all major streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Hollie Cookie Baker photo by Caroline Wall<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>      &#13;<br \/>\n           &#13;<br \/>\n    <\/article>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.theaureview.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; It\u2019s been a while between drinks for Adelaide (Kaurna Country) singer Hollie \u201cCookie\u201d Baker.
