Brandy stated two years after the album’s release, that she wasn’t happy with the album as a whole. In an interview with the LA Times, she discussed hear reasoning behind not being happy with the album’s end product.
It was lacking my belief in it. It lacked my vision. Pretty much bottom line, if you don’t believe in something it’s not going to go,”. “Do I believe that ‘Human’ was as creative as ‘Never Say Never’ and ‘Full Moon’ No, I do not. You definitely want to put something out that’s like that. I felt at the same time I could have had much better songs and a much better set-up."
