Richard Marx Announces New Album, ‘Songwriter’

Richard Marx has announced that his new album, Songwriter, will arrive on Sept. 30.

The LP will cover four different styles of music — pop, rock, country and ballads — and feature collaborations between Marx and Burt Bacharach, Keith Urban and David Hodges of Evanescence, as well as two of Marx’s sons, Lucas and Jesse.

“I’ve had such an amazing opportunity in my songwriting career to write all kinds of songs with, and for, all kinds of artists,” Marx said in a press release. “It finally occurred to me that there was no reason not to record an album of my own that touches on multiple genres I love.”

Marx has also released the first single from the album, “Same Heartbreak Different Day.” You can listen to it below.

Marx’s book, Stories to Tell: A Memoir, came out last summer. This summer he’s playing a  European tour before returning to the States to play a run of shows. A complete list of dates can be found on Marx’s website. You can see the track listing for the new LP below.
