Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, producer and best-selling author Richard Marxtoday releases “One Day Longer,” co-written by Keith Urban and the first of five country songs from his forthcoming album and Shelter Records debut, Songwriterout September 30th. 

"One Day Longer" is one of 20 songs on Songwriter ranging from country and pop to rock and ballads. While several of the songs on Songwriter were composed by Richard alone (as on all of his previous albums) collaborations make up the majority of the music, including co-writes with various music superstars: Burt Bacharach, Darius Rucker, former Evanescence founder, David Hodges, Vertical Horizon's Matt Scannell, Chris Daughtry, Lifehouse's Jason Wade and more. Read more about Songwriter and Marx's rediscovery of the song "One Day Longer" at People Magazine.

Already Marx unveiled the first preview of the album, the pop song “Same Heartbreak Different Day” co-written with his son Lucas Marx (Katy Perry, Tyron Hapi, Refeci) and Michael Jade (Little Big Town, Andy Grammer, Rachel Platten). Revisit “Same Heartbreak Different Day” here: https://lnk.to/RichardMarxSameHeartbreakDifferentDay

Marx is no stranger to the country genre. Although he's best known for his pop and power ballads, he's also co-written Keith Urban's hit songs "Long Hot Summer," "Everybody" and "Better Life," as well as "Crazy" and "What About Me?" by Kenny Rogers and many more for artists.

Over the years Marx has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, starting with his self-titled debut which went to No. 8 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and spawned four Top 5 singles, including “Hold on to the Nights” and “Don’t Mean Nothing,” which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Album Rock chart. Marx’s follow-up, 1989’s Repeat Offender, furthered his early success, hitting No. 1 and going quadruple-platinum with two No. 1 singles, “Satisfied” and “Right Here Waiting.” 

Marx has also written on a No. 1 single in each of the last four decades, an accolade previously only reached by Michael Jackson. He has written with numerous artists, including “To Where You Are,” the first hit single from Josh Groban’s debut album, the NSYNC smash, “This I Promise You” and "Crazy" the song he co-wrote with country music megstar Kenny Rogers in 1984. He went on to earn a 2004 Song of the Year Grammy for co-authoring Luther Vandross’ “Dance with My Father.” Overall, he has scored 14 No. 1 singles (including Keith Urban’s No. 1 smash “Long Hot Summer,”) both as a performer and as a songwriter/producer, revealing him a true multi-talented performer who continues to challenge himself and his fans.

Songwriter begins another busy year for Richard Marx who last Summer released his best-selling memoir Stories To Tell, available now via Simon & Schuster. The literary debut recounts the singer/songwriter’s life and career — where all throughout he offers a ruminative and refreshingly candid account of his successes and failures in the music industry as he’s experienced it over the last four decades. Also released last year was The Vault - Vol. 1, the first in a multi-run series of colored vinyl EPs featuring unreleased demos and early material. 

This summer, Marx will head out on the road in Europe before returning to the US this fall for a run of US headlining tour dates. See the full list of tour dates below and more info here: https://richardmarx.com/tour/
