It’s been seven years since we’ve heard Maxwell’s last record BLACKsummers’night, an absolute storm of soul and r&b that’s left us on the edge of our seats since. Today he’s made his return with a brand new single “Lake By The Ocean.” It’s a stunning track, creating a timeless sensibility of soul and feeling right at home in the current landscape of R&B. It’s just the first sample of what’s to come from his upcoming record BlackSUMMERS’night (different album, different punctuation!) which is bound to be a record that will hit you at your core.
