'Love Over-Due' was released in 1991 by Scotti Bros. Records, being James Brown's last studio album of the 1990s and one of his lesser-known works.
The album was produced by James Brown and features contributions from musicians such as guitarist Bootsy Collins, though the production leans towards a new jack swing and contemporary R&B sound, moving away from Brown's classic funk.
Despite including the single 'Love Over-Due', the album did not achieve significant chart impact, and is considered by critics as a late attempt by Brown to stay relevant in the changing musical landscape of the early 1990s.
