''Heavy Nova'' is a 1988 album by Robert Palmer. His first album for EMI Records after a 15-year association with Island Records (both with Vinegar Joe and as a solo artist), it followed Palmer's very popular album ''Riptide''.
''Heavy Nova'' continued Palmer's popularity with the single "Simply Irresistible", which spent three weeks at #1 on the ''Billboard'' Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the U.S. The name Heavy Nova derives from Palmer's love of both heavy metal and bossa nova rhythms.
The album was recorded at Logic Studios, Milan, Italy and Compass Point Studios Bahamas. - Wikipedia
