Feel This Free is the fourth studio album by Australian country music singer Beccy Cole. It was released in April 2005 and peaked at number 66 on the ARIA Charts.

Upon release, Cole told Susan Jarvis of Capital News "We really planned this album, and it's turned out exactly the way we wanted. I had a lot to say, so there aren't so many humorous songs. If you listen to one of the tracks on the album, "The Clown Song", you’ll understand why. But the overall vibe of the album is incredibly positive." adding "The other thing we were determined to do was make an album that I could perform live. Every song can be done on stage – the album can be read as a set list, if I want. That hasn't been possible with my last couple of recordings, so I’m really enjoying that aspect of it."[1]

The album was re-released with three new tracks in May 2006.

Background and release[]

In 2004, Cole began work on Feel This Free. In her 2015 autobiography, Cole said The album included songs that were 'healing' to write, including "The Clown Song", which she says is her most personal and revealing song she'd written. The song deals with her sexuality and although wasn't her coming out song, it was 'significant'.[2]

The album photo shoot was completed in Melbourne by Pierre Baroni

Singles[]

"Rainbows, Dreams and Butterflies" was released as the first single. Cole said; "Rainbows is a pretty honest look at my approach to life and love. While I admit to not exactly being an angel, I do try and live life to the fullest and give as much as I can of myself in the process."[3] "Poster Girl (Wrong Side of the World)" was released in May 2006. The song went on to win three Golden Guitars at the 35th annual Country Music Awards of Australia in January 2007; including 'Song of the Year', and 'Single of the Year'.[4][5]
