Tina arena talks about her new album eleven
Background
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.

Promotion
On 6 September 2015, Arena performed "I Want to Love You" on Dancing with the Stars. To promote its release she literally sold signed CDs at a music store in Melbourne. She told Cameron Adams of News Corp Australia that "The registers were awfully complicated. When you're in a situation like this you realise you can't make mistakes."

Eleven debuted at number 2 in Australia, behind If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley.
