    Reviews:
    "Richie Mayer’s new album effortlessly mixes influences like the Beatles, Beach Boys, 10cc, ELO….I could go on. There’s not a weak track anywhere on the LP. Spend some time with this record; your happiness will not be temporary." DENNIS PILON / POPROCK RECORD

    "Richie Mayer is clearly a student of classic pop. His breezy melodies are irresistible. They sound just familiar enough to invite comparisons to The Beatles and like-minded artists, but he has enough originality to make sure his music steers clear of the slavish imitation that’s often a hallmark of artists who swim in the classic pop pool. To labor a couple of sports metaphors, Richie Mayer swings for the fences on The Inn of Temporary Happiness, and he hits it outta the park. It’s an ambitious record that still feels warm, friendly and – most of all – real and sincere." BILL KOPP/MUSOSCRIBE

    "This album will bring you more than temporary happiness because it’s filled with the kind of radio-friendly tunes we got to know when radio was GOOD!" BASH ON POP / INTERNATIONAL POP OVERTHROW

about

A pandemic, political chaos, social unrest, climate change…if one needed a reason to kickstart their catharsis, anytime in 2021 was the appropriate moment. Taking this as a sign, I retreated to my studio and was gifted with words, notes and melodies for 13 new songs. These songs are at once an affectionate nod to my past musical mentors and the freedom that comes with being loved for who I am.
