  • Eleven
    BeatTracker #23 Feat. New Releases in Deep House

    Powerhouse vocalist Sandra St. Victor returns with Eleven, her eleventh studio album and first solo release in over a decade. From her years with The Family Stand to collaborations with Roy Ayers, Curtis Mayfield, Chaka Khan, Prince and Lalah Hathaway, Sandra has built a remarkable career that has consistently blurred the lines between soul, funk, jazz and gospel. Executive produced by Sandra St. Victor and Patrick Gibin for Mother Tongue, Eleven brings together Sandra's longtime collaborators alongside the Mother Tongue creative community, bridging her rich musical legacy with a fresh, forward-looking sound rooted in soul, jazz, boogie and soulful dance music. The album combines brand new compositions with inspired reinterpretations, from Kaidi Tatham's stunning reimagining of Captain Sky's Moonchild and his masterful reinvention of the Leon Ware/Syreeta underground gem Tiki Tiki Donga, to the lo-fi soul of Black Ice, produced by Abe Fogle and Edoardo Della Bitta (EDB), the timeless duet No More Water, produced by Emmanuel "Eman" Anene Jr. and featuring Lalah Hathaway, and the straight-up funk of Makes Me Wanna Fall In Love Again, produced by Ty Macklin and Edoardo Della Bitta. The album also includes a beautifully understated new version of Sandra's own Dizzy, originally released on Gemini: Both Sides in 2001 featuring Questlove, Roy Ayers and Donald Byrd, here reimagined by Mark de Clive-Lowe. Together, these recordings showcase an artist continuing to evolve while remaining true to her artistic voice. Rooted in experience yet driven by curiosity, Eleven bridges Sandra's remarkable musical legacy with the creative vision of Mother Tongue, resulting in an album that feels both timeless and forward- looking.
