Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist ALDO NOVA today (April 19) releases the triple disc ALDO NOVA 2.0 RELOADED. It features 2.0 versions of nine classic songs from ALDO’s catalog, plus another disc with no lead vocal track and a third disc with no lead guitar track so fans can either sing along or play along with him (see the track listings below). This follows the April 1 release of the first chapter of the Montreal maverick’s larger-than-life rock opera, the 10-song EP titled THE LIFE AND TIMES OF EDDIE GAGE. Listen to ALDO NOVA 2.0 RELOADED here and read more about both projects here.
“Nobody’s ever done this,” ALDO says of ALDO NOVA 2.0 RELOADED. “You can basically sing with me as your backing band or play along as a backing track. No other artist has given his tracks to fans in this way. I want to encourage kids to improvise and learn. You can play the record if you want, or you can be a part of it. It’s a new concept.”
On ALDO NOVA 2.0 RELOADED, rocks with a capital R and smokes his way through one turbo-charged hit after another. The physical CD, available for purchase on April 22, has a striking full-color 6-panel cover with an 8-page booklet with the lyrics to all the songs.
Talking about the third disc which has all the songs with no lead guitar on them, ALDO says: “Young guitar players can jam along with me as their backing band. This disc lets guitar players either play the solos like mine, but the reason I created this version is to let fledgling guitar players develop their own style.”

About ALDO NOVA:
Born Aldo Caporuscio, he opened this channel forty years ago with his 1982 double-platinum top ten self-titled debut, Aldo Nova, and its definitive Hot 100 smash single “Fantasy.” On the heels of the platinum-selling Subject…Aldo Nova and Twitch, he emerged as a trusted collaborator for some of the biggest stars in the world. He co-wrote the song “Mr. Big Time” for the soundtrack of the movie, “Armageddon,” and worked closely with Jon on his soundtrack album for the film, “Young Guns 2,” writing the signature riff from Jon Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory.” Bon Jovi returned the favor by collaborating on ALDO’s 1991 Blood on the Bricks. Working closely with Céline Dion, he penned “A New Day Has Come,” “Your Light,” “I Can’t Fight the Feeling,” and “You and I,” even garnered a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Album of the Year” for co-writing and producing 3 songs from her diamond-selling album Falling Into You. Not to mention, his discography also includes writing songs for everyone from Faith Hill, Carole King, and Clay Aiken to Garou and Blue Öyster Cult.
