About Aldo Nova

Aldo Nova didn't rack up many hits -- just two -- both housed on his eponymous debut album from 1982. Neither "Fantasy" nor "Foolin' Yourself" cracked the Top Ten but they, along with the rest of the record, provided a blueprint for the hard rock of the '80s: Nova melded the powerful thrust of arena rock with sharp pop hooks, thickening his music with layers of guitars and synths. Nova turned to professional songwriting in the late 1980s. He worked with fellow hard rockers Lita Ford and Jon Bon Jovi but Nova found his greatest commercial success as a songwriter and producer for Celine Dion, earning a Grammy for her 1996 album Falling Into You. He eventually returned to his own recording career in 2018 with the release of 2.0, following that record in 2022 with a ten-song teaser of his magnum opus The Life and Times of Eddie Gage.
