Closest Thing To Heaven is the 10th studio album of the Filipino rock band, Rivermaya. It contains 10 tracks and was released under Warner Music Philippines in 2008. This album is the second of Rivermaya without Rico Blanco as the band's vocalist. He is replaced by 18 year old Jayson Fernandez, who won the search for a new vocalist in a series of reality TV auditions. The band members took turns doing the vocal chores with the arrangement that whoever wrote the song, will be the one to sing it.
