London, ON singer/songwriter Sarah Smith has released her new album, a 17-song creative tour de force entitled 11.
Already known for her deeply personal, impactfully passionate music, Sarah Smith has truly laid bare her heart and spirit with the release of her new album. Simply titled 11, it is a creative tour de force, with 17 songs that take the listener on an epic journey through the deepest recesses of the London, Ontario singer/songwriter’s soul; a cascading, revelatory, sometimes emotionally taxing but breathtakingly honest collection of music that will undoubtedly strike a chord with any and all who hear it.

Smith’s had a long and varied career and first coming to national prominence with noted and critically-acclaimed rockers The Joys for more than a decade. Since going solo in 2012 she has engendered a fervent and ever-growing fan base on both sides of the Atlantic, primarily because Smith’s honesty and artistry have shone through in every aspect of her life and musical career. Her live performances can be incendiary or hauntingly sweet and serene – dancing along every emotional channel in between. Her songs are steeped in reality and authenticity. Every note, every lyric, every vocal inflection has meaning and are all insights into the mind and spirit of a truly remarkable artist.

With 11, Smith has kicked open the doors to her heart, her truth, her pain, her joy for the world to see.

“I can’t even describe the feeling that goes behind art. There is something that drives me that I can’t ever explain – but it’s something that I absolutely have to do. It’s about having an outlet. It’s about feelings and intense emotions and the only way I know how to deal with them is by throwing them into music. This album is about my relationship and it’s a very complicated relationship that has been through a lot of struggle and a lot of celebration. So there are a lot of mixed emotions and those emotions have to come out somehow for me. If I don’t get them out, then I will get sick, so this is my way of getting them out; I write music, record it and play it,” said Smith as she prepared for a special sold-out album launch show at the Aeolian Hall in London on Nov. 11...
