"It's been nearly a decade since Glenn Medeiros has graced the public with a C.D. Glenn captured world attention with his world-wide hit, _Nothing's Gonna Change My Love_. Since then, Glenn gained more accolades with hits such as _She Ain't Worth It_, featuring Bobby Brown. Medeiros has always had the gift of interpretting songs with heart-felt sincerity and tenderness. He's at his best with passionate ballads, even though he also fares well with dance and R&B tunes. In this C.D. old-time fans will be reminded why Glenn exploded onto the pop music scene when he was only a teenager. Tracks such as _Then She Touched Me_ and _If I Never Love Again_ are mid-tempo gems which fit well on current adult-contemporary and pop/rock radio. Glenn co-wrote all the songs on this C.D., and the entire album was produced by Carlos Villalobos. There is a definite consistency in this C.D. and you hear Glenn's growth as an artist in the lyrics and his vocal delivery. _Sometimes_ displays sensuality and romantic lingering which deserves a dance remix, and can muster the commerical appeal of Amber's recent mega dance hit _Sexual (Li Da Di). Give Glenn Medeiros a listen, because he's back with a very consistent set of high quality pop tunes. Let Glenn recapture the magic he once performed more than a decade again with _Nothing's Gonna Change My Love_...and it's true...Glenn's vocal magic remains the same...but the artist has grown."
"The new release "Captured" of Hawaii-based Glenn Medeiros will grab you off your seat and invite you to groove to the warm, exotic sounds of contemporary latino music. It shows a new Glenn Medeiros, full of confidence in both his Music and Vocal Talents. His voice has incredibly matured since the 1995 release "Sweet Island Music", and it lends great passion to this modern-style latino sound, created with the help of producer Carlos Villalobos and remixed by the acclaimed Stephen George. It's hard to highlight one particular song, because they all have their unique characteristics and even color, but they all have in common an incredibly sensuous groove and lyrics that'll move your very soul. It's obvious that Mr. Medeiros has opted for a new sound, which suits him very well. It really fits his voice perfectly and I am sure that with this sound, some major things could (and will) happen for this (still only) 29-year old Artist. It's time for the world to face the real thing!"
On the way up!

"Glenn has definately grown much musically since he appeared on the pop seen a little over ten years ago as a teenager. When many of his musical cohort have lost their fortunes or just left pop music, he has gone on and expanded on his talents. The songs on this CD show how much Glenn has matured. The love songs still make one float on air, but there is a feeling that there is more than fluffy clouds holding one up there. There is feeling and heart behind the songs now. The dance beats are still fun, but now they are beginning to grab one to the dance floor. This album is great, but Glenn is definitely going to grow even more in the future. I know I'm not the only one waiting to hear more."
Its REALLY good!

"OK, so I was surfing the net the other day recalling my 80's upbringing, when I remembered "Nothings going to change my love for you" and I wondered what ole Glenn had been up to. Well, I found all these other CD's that he had done, and this one was fairly recent (1999, so its not THAT old) and I wondered what he sounded like. So I actually went on Ebay and got this CD for a couple of bucks. I was REALLY SHOCKED at how well it sounds. NO dis on Glenn, but he was basically a 1.5 hit wonder (I'm counting the bobby brown duet), so I was expecting mediocre at best. The production value is really well, but the songs are what really did it for me. They are well written and his voice, my gosh, the man has talent. He reminded me ever so much like George Micheal on several of the songs, which is a great compliment. But I'm curious why its on an independent label. I read that he teaches music in Hawaii now, and performs locally. I am going to have to get a ticket over there and check this man out live!"
