All roads lead to July 1st for soulful singer Maxwell.

The Columbia Records crooner will unleash new album ‘black SUMMERS’ night’ on said date after a seven year hiatus from the charts.

Buzz is booming too.

Lead single ‘Lake By The Ocean’ has created all the right raves at Urban A/C radio. New number ‘1990x’ has also been received well.

Now, ahead of this Sunday’s performance at the BET Awards, the star has invited the masses behind the scenes of the ‘Lake’ video [which was directed by Philip Andelman].

Check it out below…

We’re excited for new Maxwell. Are you?
