Limitless is the twelfth studio album (36th overall) by American singer/songwriter and record producer/arranger Richard Marx, released on February 7, 2020. It is his first studio album since 2014. It was the first time Marx had recorded an album without the conscious thought of making an album.




Development


Marx usually produces his albums by himself but this time, he worked with several different producers, all of whom also co-wrote a majority of the songs on the album as well. His son Lucas was one of the producers who also co-wrote two of the tracks, including the single "Another One Down".
"I wasn't really sure what making a new album meant for an artist like me," Marx said of the creative process behind Limitless. "All I knew was that I still write songs all the time and I realised I had a collection of songs I really liked. In my past, my only criteria were to write and record songs that pleased me, and hopefully other people would like them, too. So I returned to that ideology and dismissed any concerns of stylistic consistency and the next thing I knew, I had recorded a diverse album I really liked."
The album was dedicated to his wife Daisy Fuentes.




Chart performance


Limitless became Marx's first studio album to chart overseas since 2004's My Own Best Enemy.
"Another One Down" was released several months prior to the album and peaked at No. 14 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
