R&B singer, Maxwell, continues his legacy as one of the genre’s top singers. The just released “Lake by the Ocean”, which can be heard below, will be featured on the second installment of blackSUMMERSnight, which is part of an album trilogy. The song, with its sleek groove and its gorgeous rhythm, is already an early favorite of the summer of 2016 in my book. The singer, who notoriously takes time between creating albums, croons over the silky beat “Love on trust/On us/nobody now/can we swim a lake by the ocean”. Listen to the gem of a song below.
