Richard Marx burst onto the mainstream pop music scene with his self-titled debut album from 1987. With hits such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Endless Summer Nights," and "Satisfied" and "Right Here Waiting" from his second album Repeat Offender (1989), he was one of the most commercially dominant singer-songwriters through to the early 1990s. 

His newest album for 2026 After Hours, contains 13 tracks blending songs from the Great American Songbook with original songs Richards wrote in that style.  It includes the previously released "Magic Hour," which was co-written by Richard's wife, Daisy Fuentes. 

"I never seriously considered doing a standards or covers album before because at heart, I am a songwriter, first and foremost," Richard says. "The challenge of writing songs as if I were pitching them to Frank Sinatra in 1948 really appealed to me. Creating these songs was more fun than I could've imagined, and singing them all live in the studio with the whole band, just like Frank and Dean used to do, was the thrill of a lifetime."
