‘Return of the Mack’ Mark Morrison (1996) “Return of the Mack” is the signature debut single by British R&B singer Mark Morrison, released in the United Kingdom in March 1996 and in the United States in early 1997. Serving as the title track of his debut album, the song is a mid-tempo “new jack swing” anthem that became a global phenomenon, topping charts in the UK and reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written and produced by Morrison himself, alongside Phil Chill and the production duo Cutfather & Joe. Its infectious groove is heavily built on a sample from the Tom Tom Club’s 1981 hit “Genius of Love,” as well as elements from Chuckii Booker’s “Games” and Kool & The Gang’s “N.T.”. Lyrically, the record is a “comeback” song about redemption and moving on from a deceitful lover, written while Morrison was navigating a tumultuous period in his personal life and career. … #returnofthemack #markmorrison #ukrap #90smusic
