Two Eleven is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Brandy Norwood. Released on October 12, 2012, Two Eleven serves as the singer's debut release with Chameleon Entertainment and RCA Records after departing from Epic Records soon after releasing her previous album Human (2008). The album's title is taken from Norwood's birthday; it is also the day on which her idol and friend, entertainer Whitney Houston died.

Two Eleven is the first album from Norwood to include a diverse roster of collaborators including songwriting credits from Frank Ocean, Chris Brown and Sean Garrett. Production comes courtesy of the likes of Bangladesh and Rico Love, amongst others. The first single, "Put It Down", features Chris Brown and was released from May 4, 2012. It peaked in the top-five of the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Norrwood's tenth top 10 single on the chart and her first in a decade. "Wildest Dreams" was released as the second and final single on August 28, 2012.

Upon its release, the album received critical acclaim, with many complimenting Norwood's vocals, the album's production and the overall direction of the album. Two Eleven debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with first week sales of 65,000 copies, becoming Norwood's fourth top ten and her first in eight years. It also debuted on top of on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, her second album to do so.

Two Eleven is Norwood's sixth studio album, and follow up to her least commercially successful releases, Human (2008), and 2005's greatest hits album The Best of Brandy, both of which missed the US Billboard 200 album charts top-ten. Norwood began conceiving Two Eleven in the week that Human was released, back in December 2008. Human, was originally scheduled to be released in November but was delayed to accommodate last minute recording sessions with American producer and close friend of Norwood, Timbaland. The records produced were ultimately omitted from Human's track listing due to Timabaland not being able to get his trademark vocals on the songs. As a consequence, Norwood stated in an interview with Rap-Up magazine that she wanted Timbaland to be heavily involved in the next album, along with frequent collaborator Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who had executively produced Human, expressing her wish of both musicians executive producing her next project together."
