Mark Morrison

Mark Morrison’s “Return of the Mack” is the kind of classic jam that somehow never loses its swagger—just like the British singer who rode to stardom in 1996.

That’s a testament to the breezy confidence that Morrison brings to his lyrics about bouncing back from heartbreak.

It doesn’t hurt that the groove—sampled from the Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love”—matches that vibe, savvily blending new jack swing and hip-hop with the smooth panache of ‘90s dance pop from the other side of the Atlantic.
