Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and best-selling author Richard Marx has released his new album, After Hours.
The album includes a luminous duet of "Young at Heart" with the legendary Rod Stewart, who Marx is also joining on tour this summer.
The sophisticated and soulful album blends beloved Great American Songbook standards with brand-new originals written or co-written by Marx, alongside an all-star lineup including Kenny G, Chris Botti, longtime Barbra Streisand collaborator Randy Waldman and more. CDs and vinyl are available worldwide, including the U.S., Australia, the U.K. and Europe.
On the collaboration with Stewart, Marx shares, "This time last year my wife Daisy and I flew to London for Rod Stewart's surprise 80th birthday party. Rod and his wife Penny invited us to his home for dinner the next evening and we all had drinks prior at his local pub down the road. When I told him about my 'After Hours' album he immediately said, 'We should do a duet, Dickie.' I thought it might be the Guinness talking but the next day he texted me, 'I was serious about singing together. How about we do 'Young at Heart?'"
He adds, "Anyone who knows me knows Rod has been one of my lifelong heroes and becoming pals with him just in the last few years has meant the absolute world to me. The only thing possibly more amazing for me than finally getting to sing with him is that it was his idea."
Marx continues to expand his creative output with the hit podcast and YouTube series, Stories To Tell.
Up next, Marx will tour Australia before joining Stewart on his One Last Time tour. Later this year, he will headline a one-night-only performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, followed by a return to The London Palladium for two nights on the After Hours Tour.
