Watch the video here and listen to the single here. “Our collaboration has gotten off to a great start, and we’ve been very busy, writing many more songs together, and making the most of this wonderful opportunity.Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist ALDO NOVA has today (February 22) released a performance video for “ Burn Like The Sun,” the latest single from his forthcoming 10-song EP titled THE LIFE AND TIMES OF EDDIE GAGE. “Writing and working with Stephan has been a great experience,” added Nova. I feel humble and very thankful that somehow our song broke through.” “Things have been going non-stop many opportunities have arisen since we got the single. “Since the single came out, it’s been sheer excitement,” said Moccio. The album, which was released in late March, has also fared well, reaffirming Dion’s status as an international, best-selling artist. Since its release in February, the single has enjoyed worldwide chart success. Landing the first single was a remarkable feat, especially when considering that “A New Day Has Come” was the first single and album to be released by Dion in more than two years, following her hiatus and the birth of her son. Was written by Aldo Nova & Stephan Moccio. Here’s a video of Celine Dion’s hit “A New Day Has Come” which I’ve been fortunate to have had several cuts with Celine over the years, but to get the first single, it was a tremendous feeling.” I was so happy I shared the news with my fiance, and with my manager.” Nova added, “It still hasn’t sunk in. “Then right before Christmas, we got the biggest news, that it would be the first single. “In November, we got word it would be the title cut,” recalled Moccio. Everyone was very happy with the result, and soon after, it was decided that “A New Day Has Come” would be the title track of Dion’s album. The next month, Dion recorded her vocal tracks. In September, Afanasieff produced the master tracks for “A New Day Has Come,” which included recording a full orchestra. The following day, we received more good news: Walter Afanasieff would be producing the song, with Aldo co-producing.” “It was an unbelievable feeling to hear the news, that Celine would be recording our song,” said Moccio. Dion loved the song, and decided to record “A New Day Has Come” for her upcoming album. Luprano immediately loved “A New Day Has Come,” and soon after played the demo for Dion and her husband/manager, Rene Angeli. Upon completion of the demo, Nova played it for Luprano, who is Dion’s A&R executive. “We created the demo to sound like a Celine record,” explained Moccio. We finished writing the song in one afternoon.”Ī few weeks later, Moccio recorded the demo tracks in his Toronto studio. I wrote most of the music, and Aldo wrote most of the lyrics. “Aldo knew Celine very well, and he was able to write about trying to have a baby, and the great joy she experienced with the birth of her son. “‘A New Day’ stood out as the song we should focus on,” added Moccio. We immediately hit it off as a writing team, and on the third day (in May 2001) we wrote ‘A New Day Has Come.'” “Stephan flew to Montreal, and we started collaborating. “Gary and Vito suggested that I write with Stephan,” recalled Nova. Nova was introduced to Moccio by Vito Luprano (Vice President of A&R for Sony Music Canada), and Gary Furniss (President of Sony/ATV Music Canada, which publishes Moccio). Moccio is a young, classically-trained musician based in Toronto, who has written and produced several Canadian hits (including “Alive” by Edwin). He has written cuts on many of Dion’s albums, and has collaborated with artists such as Jon Bon Jovi. Nova is a twenty-year veteran based in Montreal, who has enjoyed multi-platinum success as a recording artist (including his hit, “Fantasy”), and as a producer and songwriter. But Aldo Nova and Stephan Moccio came together to write “A New Day Has Come,” the first single and title track from Dion’s new album releaseīoth Nova and Moccio are well known figures in the Canadian music scene. They know the competition is fierce, with literally thousands of writers vying to place their song with a top artist like Celine Dion.
