11:11 is the debut album by singer-songwriter Regina Spektor. Initially, it was self-released on CD and sold at Spektor's early shows. Stylistically, the album differs from Spektor's later work as she was heavily influenced by jazz and blues at the time of its recording.
In 2021, for the 20th anniversary of the album, Spektor announced a box set featuring a remastered version of 11:11 on clear vinyl and a 2-LP live album titled "Papa's Bootlegs", a compilation of Spektor's father's recordings of her early live performances.[1] After releasing "Love Affair" to streaming services on 11:11's 21st anniversary, Spektor released the remastered version of the album to streaming services and began shipping the box set on August 26, 2022; the new digital release also included the "Papa's Bootlegs" live album as bonus tracks.
Reception
An Emeritus reviewer for Sputnikmusic awarded the album four stars.[2]
