My dad was a very successful jingle composer-producer-arranger and my mom sang on all the stuff he did. Richard, with a successful career spanning over 30 years in music and as a Grammy Award winner selling over 30 million albums worldwide, AND the only male artist in history to have your first 7 singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts…take me back to the early days of living in Chicago for a minute….who or what was the catalyst for you to want to live the life of a musical gypsy? Both my parents were in music. Hey there Richard! How are you? What’s on the agenda today besides our interview? Hey, Nicole! I was just going to have some coffee and beat my servants for a bit. I’m known for romantic music in the past, but this music I wrote is all more sensual and ethereal, and the lyrics are more adventurous than I’ve been willing to go in the past.” All Access Music writer, Nicole DeRosa had the pleasure of catching up with the uber busy, talented and ridiculously funny multi-talented RICHARD MARX.
“The songs on this record were influenced greatly by everyone from Sade to Bebel Gilberto to various EDM artists to even Chopin. According to the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, he set out to make a deliberately sexy album. On July 8, 2014, he released his latest and eighth album, Beautiful Goodbye, featuring all new material such as its first single and video, “ Whatever We Started.” Fans may find Marx’s eighth studio album, a bit of a departure from his previous albums. Marx’s album, My Own Best Enemy, was released in 2004 featuring hits “ When You’re Gone” and “ Ready to Fly.” In 2010, he released Stories To Tell, a greatest hits album which produced a Top 20 AC hit in “ When You Loved Me.” In 2012 he released his first ever Christmas album, Christmas Spirit. He holds the honor of being one of a handful of artists who have had a number one hit in each of the past four decades.
He has also written with Jennifer Nettles, Sara Bareilles and Vince Gill. For most artists, that would be impressive enough – but Richard Marx didn’t stop there, launching a second, very successful, incarnation as a songwriter and producer, with songs like “ To Where You Are,” the first hit single from Josh Groban’s debut album, as well as the NSYNC smash, “ This I Promise You.” He went on to earn a 2004 Song of the Year Grammy for co-authoring Luther Vandross’ “ Dance with My Father.” Across all formats, Marx has scored an amazing total of 14 #1 singles (including Keith Urban’s #1 smash “ Long Hot Summer”) both as a performer and songwriter/producer, making him a true multi-talented threat who continues to challenge himself and his fans. To this day, he is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts. The follow-up, 1989’s Repeat Offender, was even more successful, hitting #1 and going quadruple-platinum with two #1 singles in “ Satisfied” and “ Right Here Waiting.” When both Rush Street (with two #1 AC hits in “Keep Coming Back” and “Hazard”) and Paid Vacation (with its #1 AC hit, “Now and Forever”) went platinum, Marx achieved a seven-year string of triumphs that rivaled any in pop-rock music history. The Chicago native has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, starting with his self-titled debut which went to #8 and spawned four Top 5 singles, including the chart-topping “ Hold on to the Nights,” with “ Don’t Mean Nothing” earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
