Corynne Elliot, better known as Speech Debelle, burst into the music scene in 2009, waving her sensitive, introspective Mercury Prize ‘British Album of the Year’ and debut album ‘Speech Therapy,’ beating the likes of Florence and the Machine, Kasabian, and La Roux. Her 2012 Kwes-produced sophomore album ‘Freedom Of Speech’ commanded further critical acclaim, expanding Speech’s captivating flair for poetic testimonies, playful narratives, and dynamic rumination on power, politics, and pleasure.
Speech Debelle’s latest single, “11:11,” is a captivating addition to her discography. Taken from her fourth studio album, “Sunday Dinner On a Monday,” this track showcases the artist’s return to the music scene after her Mercury Prize-winning debut in 2009. The song combines elegance, grace, bravado, and rap, encapsulating the energy reminiscent of classic hip-hop. Produced by Skripture, with additional production by Dem Drums, “11:11” is a testament to Speech’s continued creativity and her ability to evolve while staying true to her unique style.

Lyrics:
My past is my past, I don’t too look back
My stripes are stripes, fit coordinate
Thy compass set to real, ancestral energy
I don’t sit on fence, I sit on face
Drippy, I’m not like them I’m real hippie
I burn sage, bill spliffs, I suck titties
No clubhouse, doing up lippy lippy
Road taught me well, I hid it quickly
Pounds of herb, we don’t penny pennies
We know them susu, we know they watchy watchy
Won’t find me Belgravia eating no sushi
I’m in my kitchen getting cheffy cheffy
Red wine jus with morello cherry
Food combos like duck and berries
Straight hard food, like we cooked it already
Your food is wash, it’s been cooked already
Smoke in the park till the sun low
We park no Ringo
11 11 the wind blow
Watch my ting go
I’m not like you I no comment
You walkie talky in office sir
If that’s who you are, then that ain’t problem
I just want to see you stand on your word
When you from UK you don’t swim at no beach
But when I fly and sleep, no crease in my knees
I don’t do don’t queues, I Uber eats
You get the bag, and bring it to me
I’m a Pisces but I’m petty petty
I was judgy judgy before therapy
I’m spiritual but I want my money
I’m sorry for you if ancestors hear me
Don’t let me call on the main line
My girl is my main guy
I’m very very connected, my neck is very very protected
I’m a living legend in this
Your career live cause I help it live
Very content I can do this for kicks
Jogged her memory and train her, she lift
I can see they don’t all go up top floor
Visions is short, light quality poor
Two margaritas, still do happy hour
I’m not as sad I was, I grew flowers
Courgettes and cucumber, I got green fingers
This sativa heals you like its ginger
I only serenade, I do not surrender
Spring up round may, you’ll fall by September
Won’t let them contain me, put me in container
Sell date sell off, I poster up for paper
I caught the spirit, chifinoro is the keeper
Inshallah I go home kuyamika wopanga
