Aqualung will release Words & Music. The ten-song record marks the Verve Forecast debut by Aqualung, aka British singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Matt Hales. Hales is also announcing a mini-tour of major U.S. markets following the release of this new album. This is Hales’ first tour as a solo performer. Words and Music is the product of an extended period of soul-searching that caused the artist to seriously reexamine his career priorities, after a life that’s been spent making music. Hales, who began writing songs at the age of four, achieved some unexpected success when his demo of the song “Strange and Beautiful” appeared in a Volkswagen TV commercial and immediately struck a chord with listeners.  That fluke occurrence turned Aqualung from a modest lo-fi bedroom recording project into a successful major-label act.
