(Geffen) Matt White is gearing up for a late summer tour hooking up with Kate Voegele on a month's worth of dates in support of his new single "Love" off his debut Geffen release Best Days. Matt recently shot the video for "Love" inside a New York City public bus.Matt White's debut album Best Days was released on Geffen Records in the fall of 2007. Rolling Stone Magazine praised the set for "updating classic Billy-and-Elton-style Top Forty with Tears for Fears melodrama, Lovin' Spoonful sunshine, even a touch of Freddie Mercury-style falsetto theatrics." Details Magazine included "Best Days" in their "best new music bubbling from the underground" section while Elle Magazine applauded, "'Best Days' is an infectious record of blue-eyed piano-and-guitar soul that's expertly arranged." Entertainment Weekly raved Matt "echoes the bittersweet musings of Jeff Buckley."
Since the release of "Best Days," Matt has entered the Billboard Charts, the video for his single "Best Days" has been added to VH1 and MTV, Matt appeared on the "CBS Early Show" and "Last Call With Carson Daly" and various songs from his debut album have appeared in movies and tv shows including "Little Manhattan," "Because I Said So," "She's The Man," "The Hills," "Men In Trees," "Laguna Beach" and "One Tree Hill."
