Cool down with Maxwell's sensual 'Lake By The Ocean' video

Maxwell and his leading lady take a dip in the sensual new visual for "Lake By The Ocean." The Philip Andelman-directed presentation shows the love song connoisseur performing in an intimate space, serenading his special woman, who totes jugs of water in the sweltering heat of Haiti and Dominican Republic.

The Grammy-winning crooner recently described the offering as a "love story about finding joy after having gone through struggle and betrayal. Small situations, like even a lake by the ocean, is big enough for you. When you're so in love, you don't need more."
