"Marvellous & Mine" is a song recorded by British singer Lisa Stansfield for her 1993 album, So Natural. It was released as the fourth and Japanese only single on 21 July 1994.[1] The song was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and produced by Devaney. The single was issued just before Stansfield's tour in Japan in September 1994.
The CD single included Sure Is Pure 12" Mix and Edited Master Mix of "Marvellous & Mine." It also featured previously released remixes of "So Natural" and "Little Bit of Heaven." The remix of "Marvellous & Mine" was also included on the "Dream Away" 1994 single and the 2014 deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of So Natural (also on The Collection 1989–2003).[2][3]
