GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Richard Marx has shared his take on the classic “The Way You Look Tonight” from his upcoming album After Hours, out January 16, 2026. Marx recently announced he is joining Rod Stewart on tour, who is a guest on this album, along with Kenny G, Chris Botti, Barbra Streisand collaborator Randy Waldman, and more.
After Hours blends beloved standards with brand new originals written in the same era-evoking spirit. In a rare contemporary approach, the album was recorded entirely live with a 24-piece ensemble, capturing full takes - no studio patchwork. Previous singles include the swinging “Big Band Boogie” featuring Kenny G, jazz-infused ballad "All I Ever Needed" with world-renowned trumpeter Chris Botti, and “Magic Hour,” co-written with Marx’s wife Daisy Fuentes. The couple recently presented Bad Bunny with a Latin Grammy award, as well.
Earlier this year, Marx made his five-night, sold-out Café Carlyle debut at the New York cabaret. After Hours: Confessions at Café Carlyle spotlighted selections from After Hours with special guests Hugh Jackman, Heather Dubrow, Rita Wilson, Peter Cincotti, Chely Wright and Matt Friend, with attendees including Katie Couric, John Molner, Titus Welliver and beyond.
Marx is also the host of the podcast and YouTube series, Stories To Tell, where esteemed guests from KISS’ Paul Stanley and Kenny Loggins to *NSYNC’s JC Chasez and Lance Bass join Marx for candid, cocktail-infused conversations at his home bar. This year, Marx also joined The Voice Australia as a coach alongside Melanie C (aka Sporty Spice), Ronan Keating, and Kate Miller-Heidke, and performed on the grand finale of Dancing with the Stars Australia.
