New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 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.
"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."
