Heavy Nova is a 1988 album by Robert Palmer. It followed his very popular album Riptide. Heavy Nova continued his popularity with the single, "Simply Irresistible", which went to #1 on the Billboard charts for three weeks. 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).
