"What distinguishes young R&B singer Glenn Lewis from his many peers?" you might inquire. Well, Lewis employs no gimmicks to set himself apart from the pack. He doesn't ape R&B stars of the past, or utilize a flurry of expletives like too many of his contemporaries. Instead, Mr. Lewis is distinguished by sheer musicality, an engaging vocal personality, and the ability to make WORLD OUTSIDE MY WINDOW sound like something new under the sun. Lewis neither falls into the trap of hiding behind heavy hip-hop shadings or falling all over himself with romantic overstatements. Rather, his light, friendly voice skips elegantly across melodies that bend compositional rules in the service of an idiosyncratic but immediately accessible style. Ultimately, Lewis sounds like the kind of guy you'd like to have a couple of beers with (or if you're a starry-eyed lady, perhaps a bit of the bubbly).
