Background

[edit]

In February 2015, Cole revealed to Rap-Up TV that she was contractually free from Interscope and was intending on moving forward as an independent recording artist. Cole also confirmed work on her seventh studio album, revealing that she was halfway done with ten tracks so far. She stated: "I don't know which direction I wanna go in. I don't know if I want it to be more fun, I don't know if I want it to be more heartfelt or if I want it upbeat, medium to slow. I'm just recording and recording and recording and recording and recording and recording and recording."[5] In December 2016, it was announced that Cole signed a new record deal with Sony's Epic Records.[6][7]

In December 2016, it was announced that Cole signed a new record deal with Epic Records.[6][7] In an interview with Rap-Up magazine, she announced the name of her upcoming album titled 11:11 Reset stating:

"For the past year, I’ve been seeing 11:11 constantly and to my understanding, you’re aligned spiritually with your destiny and everything that is meant to be in your life is happening at the right time. The timing is right. Everything is right. The Writings On The Wall. Reset is definitely cohesive with that.".[8]

"You" featuring Remy Ma and French Montana was released as the album's lead single on January 27, 2017.[9] The music video premiered on February 27, 2017.[10]

AllMusic[1]

Allmusic editor Andy Kellman found that 11:11 Reset "handily tops her 2014 set with comparatively nuanced and richer songs." He continued on to say that "They ultimately beget a fluidity the first six full-lengths lack. As ever, Cole's love life is marked by volatility and unfaithfulness [...] Cole shuns the cheater, cuts ties, consoles and assures herself, and lays out her expectations for settling down – all familiar ground for the artist. She nonetheless finds new ways to cover most of it, and does so with a level of restraint that makes her maximum-effort moments all the more powerful."[1]
