Marques Houston returns to R&B after a two-year hiatus with new single “Last Drop.”

The 42-year-old artist makes a comeback with his new track from the upcoming album The Best Worst Year Ever. “Last Drop” is a romantic serenade that interpolates Tevin Campbell’s “Can We Talk.”

Houston sings: “I wanna be the one you call when you’re feeling down / I wanna be the one you call on, girl, that’s for sure.”

“I wanted to go back to my nostalgic roots by paying homage to one of my favorite songs of all time, ‘Can We Talk’ by Tevin Campbell,” Houston said of creating the new track. “I love how this song makes me feel and the power it has to take me back to a time of my many teenage crushes. I wanted to create a rendition of the song and make it the soundtrack for today’s generation’s favorites.

“Last Drop” was co-written by Houston and Ryan Hirt, with Jeffrey Toney producing. The song’s video pays homage to classic R&B visuals, featuring scenes of Houston dancing and singing in the rain.

“Last Drop” follows the release of “Admit It” in January. Both tracks will appear on Houston’s upcoming album, expected later this year. Additionally, he is expected to announce a headlining tour soon.

His new project follows his 2022 EP, ME: Dark water, which included collaborations with Ray J and Monteco. With “Last Drop,” Houston aims to reignite the excitement he once generated as the “Batman” of 1990s boy band Immature, later known as IMx. This new single, released via Phoenix Music Group, marks his return to the music scene.
