[edit] Rumors
It was reported that the released of the album was cancelled by the music tycoon Clive Davis. He spoke with Hudson to redo some of the songs because they were not worthy to be released. Close sources to Davis said: [7]
“They made half an album and ended up scrapping it. Clive — wisely, I think — said, ‘No one’s going to buy this. We’re trying to turn her into Aretha Franklin, and that’s not realistic.’” They scrapped a bunch of songs and started fresh. I heard a Timbaland song that was by far the best song she’s done. I do wish, and I know the label wishes, that this album had come out six months ago. But Clive’s smart. He didn’t want to just put out a crap album just because of the momentum.”[8]
