NZ music icon Gin Wigmore is back with the announce of her highly anticipated fourth studio album, Beautiful Mess – her most personal and powerful body of work to date, set to release July 17th.

Capturing the contrast of life’s highs and lows, light and darkness, softness and grit, Beautiful Mess marks Wigmore’s first new album in eight years. The record chronicles the deepest moments of the star’s past decade – navigating love, loss, divorce, and motherhood – all while expanding her revered artistry to new heights. Yet true to Wigmore’s playful and unfiltered personality, the album never lingers too long in the heavy, balancing its most vulnerable moments with a cheeky wink. The result is a record grounded in growth and vivacity – showcasing Gin Wigmore at her most authentic.

A tale told in two halves, the double-sided album will explore the duality of beauty and chaos. Side A represents the ‘Beautiful’ – tender, soft soundscapes rooted in country and Americana, inspired by trailblazing women like Lucinda Williams, Loretta Lynn, and Tammy Wynette. Side B reveals the ‘Mess’ – raw, raucous rock anthems that rip the record open with unrestrained, full-throttle energy.

Beautiful Mess is the calm and the chaos, the light and the dark – existing not in opposition, but in harmony.
