Whatever happened to Glenn Lewis?

[m0rninggl0ry]

He gave me Donny Hathaway/ Musiq Soulchild tease. It is a shame he didn’t blow up like he was supposed to.

Lewis' debut album on Epic Records, World Outside My Window, was released on March 19, 2002. Fueled by the hit single "Don't You Forget It", the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. The single earned him a Juno for Best R&B/Soul Recording. He promoted the album by touring with Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.The album spawned a second single, "It's Not Fair" which peaked at Number 90 on the R&B chart.

I remember him. I thought he sounded a lot like Stevie.

 

[Wild self]

He was in that Neo Soul movement from the early 00s. A lot of them went back underground after mainstream was,done with Slow Jams.

 

[I love Latina women]

I always liked that song but I never did check out his album.

He came out with AOTY for 2017:

Chasing Goosebumps, by The PLAYlist featuring Glenn Lewis

Don't sleep

 

[Doobie Doo]

He got old and turned into Glynn Plumber

He from my city (Toronto) and an R&B legend to us

Thing is, Glen came out at a time when we had no music industry infrastructure up here pre-Drake era, especially for black artists. Glen got signed in the states but this was also early 2000s when mainstream R&B was at its absolute peak and trending downwards. His album World Outside my Window did well, had singles, videos on BET but at the time, it seems like it cost the labels too much to blow up an unknown Canadian r&b singer.

However, if he came out during Drake era, he would have blown up like The Weeknd and Tory Lanez did, he’d own the R&B lane and would be wayyyyy bigger than Daniel Cesar who’s in that lane now but with his weak ass sophomore album and his c00ning antics, he might not be around much longer. If he had access to so many of the producers that are in the city now, he’d be huge in the states. Especially in this social media era. It’s unfortunate but life is about timing... he still tourin tho

R&b is NOT what it’s used to be. To many whisper singers. Not enough singing and labels are too cheap to have artists go through training ( it’s another word for it. I forgot )
