The first single from the new album, “Lake By The Ocean,” is making major waves at radio and drawing widespread critical acclaim, praised by Rolling Stone, Spin, and others (‘ a slow and finely crafted love ballad that makes the most of Maxwell’s absolutely stunning vice…’ hailed Yahoo.)

The song is currently #1 on the Urban AC chart with the lyric video nearing a million views (watch here).

The singer/songwriter recorded the new album in New York over the last several years with longtime collaborator/co-producer Hod David, and many of the same renowned musicians he’s worked with throughout his career.

His seminal 1996 debut album, ‘Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite,’ has been enthusiastically commemorated by the music press, recently, marking the 20th anniversary of the genre spawning debut.

Credited for redefining classic soul, his debut album earned Maxwell his first Grammy nominations, double platinum status and RIAA gold for the single, “Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder).”

The platinum albums ‘Embrya’ (1998) and ‘Now’ (2001) followed. 2009’s #1 debuting ‘Blacksummers’night’ was universally welcomed as the inaugural offering of Maxwell’s trilogy, winning two Grammys including Best R&B Album. To date, Maxwell has achieved 13 gold and platinum certifications from the RIAA.
