11:11 is the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Chris Brown.[5] It was released on November 10, 2023.[1][6] The singles "Summer Too Hot", "Sensational" and "Nightmares"[7] were released in the album's promotion.[8] 11:11 features guest appearances from Maeta, Byron Messia, Future, Fridayy, Davido and Lojay.[9]

The album has a nomination at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, with its track "Summer Too Hot" being proposed for Best R&B Performance.[10]

Background

The album's title is derived from the homonym numerological belief.[11][12]

Composition

11:11 is a double album, with its two sides containing 11 tracks each.[13] The album's musical style mixes R&B, pop music, Afrobeats and dancehall.[14]

Artwork

The album's artwork depicts 4 images of Chris Brown standing to form 11:11's title. The head shots used to form the colon include the singer with black and blonde hair, the juxtaposition symbolizes the negative and the positive in life. The colors used in each of the standing images are a nod to body chakras: yellow (manipura – solar plexus chakra symbolizing wisdom and power), indigo (ajna – third eye chakra symbolizing awareness), blue (vishuddha – throat chakra symbolizing communication), and green (anahata – heart chakra symbolizing love and healing) and tie in with the spiritual meaning of "11:11". Brown used similar imagery in the lyrics of his 2019 song "Indigo", from the album Indigo.[15]

Release and promotion

On May 19, 2023, Brown teased the release of new music on his Instagram account, writing: “Y’all ready for some new music? Been locked in the studio”, stating "No more 20- to 40-song albums", hinting that his next album would mark a detachment from the length of his previous three albums Heartbreak on a Full Moon, Indigo and Breezy.[16] On that same day he announced the release of "a single for the summer".[17][18] On June 17, Brown officially announced on his Instagram account the album's lead single "Summer Too Hot", and its release date for June 23, 2023.[19]

On August 17, he unveiled the album's title, 11:11, along with its release date for November 11, 2023, also stating that it would contain 11 songs.[20][21][6][22] On September 29 the singer announced that the album was "complete", sharing a possible black and white album cover.[23] On October 17, 2023, Brown unveiled the second single from the album, titled "Sensational" featuring Lojay and Davido, with a video where he performs a choreography for it with his dancing crew.[24] On October 20, 2023, Brown released "Sensational" along with a music video directed by videographer Child.[25] On October 21, Brown revealed that the album would be a double disc consisting of two sides featuring 11 tracks each, with the first one being released at 11 AM, and the final part on 11 PM of November 11, revealing the official album cover as well.[26] On November 2, Brown previewed a new song on his Instagram titled "Walking on 10 Toes".[27] On November 4, the singer previewed another track titled "No One Else" featuring Fridayy. The album's tracklist was revealed on November 6, confirming guest appearances from Byron Messia, Future, and Fridayy, teasing two other guests scheduled to be revealed on a later date. The following day, the song "Nightmares" featuring Byron Messia was released alongside its music video.[28] On November 9, he announced that 11:11 would be released on November 10, a day earlier than what previously announced.[29]

A few hours before the release of 11:11, its last track was changed from the previously announced "Double Negative", which features Justin Bieber, to a track called "Views". Brown explained the last minute change on his Instagram account on the album's release day: "Double negative unfortunately did not make the deadline in time with the lawyers, so we couldn’t put it on the album. Justin my little brother for life, so we will make that moment happen soon. Sorry to the fans that really wanted it to be on the album".[30]
