Hi everyone and welcome back to The Talk Music Podcast!
For this episode, check out my deep dive with Aldo Nova. He’s a Multi-Platinum recording artist, a major hit songwriter, and a genius producer whose career has dominated the airwaves for more than four decades.
He first exploded onto the international music scene with his 1982 self-titled debut album, which went double platinum in the US and featured the iconic hit “Fantasy,” - a song that helped define the sound of 1980s rock and remains a staple on classic rock radio to this day.
Aldo’s genius didn't stop on the stage. Behind the scenes, he built a jaw-dropping second career crafting hits for some of the biggest icons on the planet. We’re talking about his historic, long-standing partnership with Céline Dion—co-writing her massive global hit “A New Day Has Come” and earning a Grammy Award for Album of the Year for his work as a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist on Falling Into You. His legendary chemistry with Jon Bon Jovi runs just as deep; after Aldo co-wrote the number-one hit “Blaze of Glory,” Jon returned the favour by signing Aldo to his own label. Together, the two masterminds co-wrote and co-produced Aldo's powerhouse comeback album, Blood on the Bricks.
From his deep history with Céline Dion and Jon Bon Jovi to creating chart-topping hits with Faith Hill and Clay Aiken and many others, Aldo Nova remains a well respected and influential figure in the music industry. Whether on stage or in the studio, his work continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, and our chat is a deep dive into his incredible journey, his creative songwriting process, and what he’s working on now.
Enjoy the chat along with music clips from his first 3 albums, and his rock opera “The Life and Times of Eddie Gage”.
