In an announcement released earlier today, Warner Music Canada recording artist and Canadian musical icon Corey Hart was named the latest inductee to the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame. Corey’s induction will take place during the 2019 JUNO Awards broadcast on CBC TV from London, Ontario on March 17, 2019. In conjunction with this incredible news, Corey has released “Dreaming Time Again” as the first single from his forthcoming EP of the same name. The Dreaming Time Again EP will be released May 3, 2019 and is Corey Hart’s first collection of new studio music in over 20 years. Fans can pre-order/pre-save Dreaming Time Again HERE.

In addition to the release of the single, Corey has produced a touching accompanying video for “Dreaming Time Again” in which Hart takes a heartfelt tour of Cuba with his fourteen year old son Rain. The ending is particularly poignant as it depicts an emotional dialogue scene between father and son spoken entirely in Spanish (with English subtitles). Corey is trilingual and normally converses with his son only in Spanish. The video was directed by the talented editor/filmmaker Peter Guzda who also worked on Hart’s “Another December.”

“Peter is one helluva talent – we immediately connected as two symbiotic creative forces, much like I did back in the day with the legendary Rob Quartly – Hart said.
