Eleven is the eleventh studio album (9 in English, 2 in French) released by Australian singer and songwriter Tina Arena. The album was released in Australia on 30 October 2015. The first single, "I Want to Love You" was released on 4 September 2015. Arena described Eleven as a "personal album" that was "joyous to make". Arena hinted at a tour, saying "I'm looking forward to playing the songs for you live soon". This was further confirmed in a radio interview on 3AW on 1 September when Arena stated she would be on the road February–March 2016.
The album has been nominated for ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2016.
Following on from her 2013 platinum selling release Reset and tour, Arena announced the release of her new album in August 2015.
In an interview on Today with Richard Wilkins on 2 September 2015, Arena confirmed the album was recorded in Melbourne, Sydney, London, Stockholm and Paris. The album is described as a beautiful, complex, state-of-the-art collection of emotive, electronica-based songs. The album became available for pre-order on 4 September 2015. The digital version came with two instant download tracks; "Overload" and "I Want to Love You".
Arena has co-written tracks on the album with a number of people including Jon Hume, Hayley Warner and Tania Doko. On the song "Unravel Me" Arena tackles confusion and fear about the state of the world in general and social media in particular. She says “I’m quite bewildered by how much the human being has changed. How disconnected and isolated we've become. It saddens me. Part of the light in human beings has gone.”
The title refers to the total number of studio albums Arena has released in her career spanning 40 years. The tally includes her first studio album with John Bowles, 1977's Tiny Tina and Little John to 2013's Reset and her two in French.
