We’ve been waiting seven years to say this: Maxwell has a new video out and it’s everything you hoped it would be.
The sexy video for “Lake By The Ocean,” the single off his forthcoming album BlackSUMMERS’night, set to drop July 1. It’s his first album in seven years and it seems like it’s worth the wait.
The video takes place in a Spanish-speaking town, where a beautiful woman is seen gathering clean water, along with other residents.
He told Rolling Stone, that the video “depicts a world in need of water and two clandestine lovers who meet with liquid dreams, one being the bare-boned need for clean water, and another, the performer, who wants to be lost in the watery worlds of love and devotion.”
Later, she goes to a cafe where Maxwell is performing. Their sexy chemistry ensues and the rest is Maxwell video history.
