After high school, Glenn began recording demos and performing at nightclubs, eventually becoming a respected act in Toronto. He parlayed this success into the release of his first single, "The Thing To Do," in 1998 on Beat Factory/BMG. The song won him a Juno Award for Best R&B Recording. His second single, "Bout Your Love," earned him a Juno nomination.
This exposure eventually landed him a deal with Epic Records. Glenn's debut album, 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. He promoted the album by touring with R&B singers Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.
In 2002, Lewis recorded a cover version of "Superstition" for the tribute album, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder's Songs. Glenn also makes a brief appearance in the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. He contributed the song "Fall Again" to the film's soundtrack. A concert DVD, Glenn Lewis Live, was released in 2003.
Glenn prepared his sophomore album, Back For More for release in 2003. The first single, also titled "Back For More," and featuring rapper Kardinal Offishall, was released to radio and a video began to air. Unexplicably, the album was pushed back, first to later in the year, then to 2004. It remains unreleased. In the meantime, Glenn netted a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Stanley Clarke's "Where Is The Love", a duet also featuring Amel Larrieux.
Glenn left Epic Records in 2005, and is currently signed to Underdog Entertainment. According to Glenn's MySpace page, a new album, Remember Me, will see release in the spring of 2007.

What's Come Over Me? feat. Amel Larrieux
Glenn Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you've had this crazy way of making me feel
don't get me wrong I'm not here trying to fall in love
But something?s changing me
You laughin, acting crazy girl you always put a smile on my face
You know just how to chill this thug mentality
I put on for others to see
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
I don't mean to make it seem like I'm taking this to seriously
But I just want to let you know what's on my mind
can't you see what we could be?
(We could be so in love)
Got me buggin, oh I'm sacrificing myself,
I'm here singing this to you
See I just couldn't face myself
knowing that I didn't just tell you the truth
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
If by chance you should find yourself falling deep in love you know you can count on me
Just like a thief in the night
you come and take away the only way I know how to be
You stole my heart from me
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what it is but it?s feeling so good to me
I'm used to being so cool, laid back and in control
But what's come over me?
Yeah, yeah, yeeah
Up and down?
Your love?
But what's come over me?
I don't know?

The singer initially expresses that they are not looking for love but something is changing them since they met their love interest.

I had the pleasure of being around Glenn in the Toronto r&b scene in the 90's. Glenn is THE forgotten underrated genius of the early 2000 dec.
