Guaranteed, released in 1992, is the third solo album by R&B singer Morris Day. Released five years after his previous album, Guaranteed is a notable step away from previous efforts. Focusing on hip-hop, the album has much more input from outside producers and composers. Day even cut off his trademark permed hair to focus on appealing to a younger crowd. The experiment was a failure and the album fared poorly. It was the only Morris Day album released in the 1990s, and last album for the next 12 years.
