Throwback Treasures: Glenn Lewis "Don't You Forget It"

Ok...I need a moment. [fans self with stolen MLK church fan]. Lawd knows THIS is a beautiful man. If growing up Maxwell was my Neo-Soul husband then Glenn Lewis was my boo on the side. Lewis is best known for his sultry song "Don't You Forget It" off of his 2002 debut album World Outside My Window. I honestly expected great things from this Toronto born (see Drake ain't the only attractive Blacadian) especially since it won a Juno for Best R&B/Soul Recording. Not to mention his song "Fall Again" ended up on the soundtrack to that whack Jennifer Lopez movie. You know, the one where she's chasing after the white guy who's "too good for her." Oh wait...that's the plot to practically EVERY movie she's been in since Selena, whoops my bad. ANYWAY, in 2007 he came back out with "Back For More" featuring Kardinal Offishall (another Blacadian). I wasn't really feeling the island feel. I know, he's half Tridianian and half Jamacian, but STILL it just didn't feel...authentic. And the Ginuwine-let-me-cut-off-my-cute-little-curls-because-I'm-going-in-a-different-direction-with-my-music approach didn't sit well with me either. The only part of the video that I did find entertaining was the random Mike Epps cameo and even then he had that "I don't know why I'm here either" look on his face. Regardless, I'm still patiently waiting for the return of the Glenn Lewis that was more concerned about me getting back to my home than taking me back to his.
