Details: Product Description World Outside My Window, the debut album from Toronto native Glenn Lewis, heralds the arrival of an exciting new musical talent. No stranger to the music scene, Glenn has been awaiting this opportune ity to showcase his unique vocal ability and songwriting skills. [Note: This product is an authorized, licensed CD and is manufactured on demand] Amazon.ca If the Canadian music industry took its time waking up to hip-hop, it's still in a deep sleep when it comes to homegrown R&B. Crooner Glenn Lewis banged his head against the wall for years in his home town of Toronto without a hint of recognition before finally decamping to Philadelphia and promptly signing a major-label deal. Lewis's debut, 2002's World Outside My Window, is a big-budget epic that bridges the gap between gooey R&B and the neo-soul of D'Angelo and Maxwell. Drenched in strings and warm, elaborate production, tracks like "Don't You Forget It," "Simple Things," and "It's Not Fair" eschew worn-out R&B clichés while still drawing on the soulful roots of the genre. Nowhere is this heard better than in Lewis's own voice, a smooth Stevie Wonder sound-alike that's already got the nod from the man himself. Now if Lewis could only get that respect in Canada. --Matt Galloway
