notes

While U Wait...

...In life, it seems as if there is a constant struggle between man and the ever-ticking machine we call time. As much as we try to force time to bend in submission to our will, it seems like we are always waiting for SOMETHING. Early on we learn that 'patience is a virtue', yet we zap our dinners in the microwave and shop for everything from music to soul mates using the fastest internet connections we can find, and without ever stepping foot outside or having any contact with a single human being...I mean, who has the TIME anymore?...After all, 'time IS money', right?...ESPECIALLY in the music industry...In our efforts to become 'fast and efficient', we are replacing people with processors, raw talent with the 'smoke and mirrors' of marketing, and creativity with financially driven formulas...it's almost down to a science these days...just plug some numbers into a spreadsheet, place an artist into the machine and BAM, you've got a complete package to sell to the masses for millions of dollars...and we buy it because after all, what else IS there?... It's almost as if we are loosing our human connection to the world and to music. Think back to the last song u heard on the radio that made u FEEL something...other than the need to get on the floor and 'shake something'?...no doubt, the radio can have us dancing with the best of them...but what happened to music that evokes some kind of emotion...music that u can relate to on a personal level...what about FEELING a real connection to the song and the artist???...I am not saying that it never happens on mainstream radio anymore...it's just rare. Well, if that is something that you miss as much as we do, here is something for you to listen to While U Wait...

So, While U Wait...for the bus, the train, or ur ride...While U Wait...for ur promotion or ur BIG BREAK...While U Wait for there to be something on the radio that moves you...listen to this...While U Wait...

    Now, this is what good music should sound like. Excellent cd. I listen to it everyday. Definitely a must buy!!!

  • Real R&B
    author: ramel

    The CD is the definition of real R&B...

  • REAL MUSIC!!
    author: Gary F

    The production duo h20 is absolutely solid, showcasing quite a varied mix of stellar soul artists. My favourite is from my favourite artist of the past couple of years Eric Roberson,but no artist on here I can say is average as they all have their own style. Buy with confidence and if your into real R&B artists who actually think about their lyrics and music, you can't fail to have this CD in your collection!

  • now that's what i'm talkin bout
    author: Miykael

    a smooth, mellowed out, love experience...this is the direction that i hope more artists gravitate towards...this is a great anthology of songs...without doubt the stand out track to me has to be "i dare you to say!" eric roberson nailed this one down solid...all tracks have their time and space for rotation and this is lifeintately a work that you can let ride in its entirety...BIG UP!!!

  • Good music! Takes you back to when R&B had substance!
    author: maurizio byrd

    This CD gives you that " Back In the Day" feeling, when you actually can think about a certain relationship or play it when you are driving on a nice day wishing R&B was like "this" again. - Peace

  • Peter Hadar rocks on the Need Love track!
    author: Christina Spann

    I love this album I am a huge fan of Peter Hadar and can't wait for his upcoming release Memories of the Heart. He had a show with Russell Taylor last week @ The chocolate bar in brooklyn, ny that was amazing! His energy is out of this world his vocals are unmatched and his songwriting is like nothing you've heard before. Check out peterhadar.com for future upcoming shows and album release info or contact him at peter.hadar@gmail.com.

  • While U Wait has a spirit of it's own
    author: Rosemarie Minniti

    h2o draws you in beyond talent - this cd comes from a truly creative spirit. There's a motion to it that you feel yourself being drawn into each song. Everyone involved in this project should be really proud! The talent behind this cd is tremendous and inspiring!

  • WOW!!!
    author: Nzinga

    This is the kind of music EVERYBODY needs to hear nowadays, something that your soul can identify with. The songs make me wanna hold my breath when listening cause I don't wanna miss nothing and why is it that I get an attitude at work if someone asks me a question while I'm listening to "Can't Let Go" by Ebony, make me real mad and then I gotta hit the rewind button - so I guess that makes it all the better that they bothered me in the first place. Definitely worth your time and money, do yourself a favor and GET THIS ALBUM...TODAY....LIKE NOW......LIKE RIGHT NOW!!!

  • RAW
    author: Cheleray

    You are too damn raw

  • A must have for true music lovers...
    author: Jozen aka JJ Walker

    "While U Wait" is a wonderful compilation made by wonderful artists. My favorite song changes everyday. I hear something new everyday. I'm excited to hear future jems as h20 and the featured artists mature in their craft. Nic, Mark and everyone on this CD, stay true and be blessed. We support you.

  • Great Buy, love it , soulful and creative
    author: Bylynda

    I enjoy all the songs on this CD and I def recommend it...peace and good luck nick & ammie

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!
    author: EZ Tommy- A&R / Producer -AM-FM/Richcraft

    This CD is a GREAT Buy! It takes you to a place we miss so much in music today. Remember how you felt when you heard songs that make you feel warm and expressed a variety of emotions. While U Wait feels that void. It will only be a matter of time b4 somebody with influence gets it & puts h20 on front street. Keep up the great work & how long will it take b4 my full CD gets here? :)

  • Good sound..for rolling down the road get'n your groove on
    author: K.N. Shareef

    Remember the days of the long road trips in the car. You had to have your good music. This CD needs to be included in that road trip collection. Mellow, funky smooth, all that ..and then some. You need to buy this NOW !!

  • Honest Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Tanya Smith

    Eric Roberson gave rave reviews about the CD on his site so I had to support it I knew I wouldn't be disappointed because if Eric is on it then it has to be fire. Thank You for creating great music.....I love it!!!!!! play it everyday.

  • h2O (Elixir of Life!)
    author: Lee (UK)

    Mark & Nicole Hamilton (h2O) deserve the utmost praise for producing an album of the highest order. I have yearned for the good times when albums were comprised of maybe just 9/10 tracks of real quality. That is exactly what we have here with “While U Wait” (no fillers or annoying interludes!) - You will probably have heard the track samples by now so I’ll leave it up to you to form your own opinion on the album's strengths. In the confines of this review, I simply can't do it justice (I need a rooftop and a megaphone!) - They have managed to transcend the genre with this release. The majority of so-called compilations that I have heard in the past were almost guaranteed to have me reaching for the remote (>>) at some point, not so here. I can’t remember the last time that I heard a compilation of this consistency throughout. In fact, to call this album a mere compilation is to do this body of work an injustice, sorry M & N (it’s too good for that!) - Like some of you reading this, I was drawn to this album from ERRO’s endorsement via his forum. Any album with his input is worth the money alone (in my opinion) but this isn’t about him, it’s about another bright new addition to our world that hopefully continues to go from strength to strength and enrich our ears (and lives) for many years to come. Honest music, honest songwriting, honest artistry (period!) - The Health & Fitness industry generally advise the consumption of 8 glasses of “h2O” per day for good health (they had better make that 9!)

  • yes!
    author: Sophie Delila

    It's great to hear some of the best up and coming soul artists on one record...yes! lots of diversity, yet unity in the color, the feel and the *message(s)* it carries... No doubt we will b looking back at this one in a few years, realizing history was being made... My favs: NEVERMIND, 4 THE LOVE. cheers! ps -- when is the WUW tour? ;) hehe

  • This CD proves that talent beats out everything else. Perseverance pays off BIG
    author: Jerrell Allen

    This CD will not only move your body but move your SOUL. The music is very well put together with an array of very talented artist. This gives me hope in music again. The story on what it took to put this project together is what VH1 should be doing a documentary on. Congratulations.

    author: Kwaaz

    Very impressive! The pictures painted by these artists on the canvas set in place by these producers, send off warm vibes. This CD depicts the true essence of what Soul/R&B music is! It's be beginning of honest, hard earned success; achieved by the persistence and due diligence of honest people. Mark & Nicole, this CD is simply off the hook!

    Congrats to the H20 Production team,Mark & Nicole on such a successful project. This compilation is a great example of what good soul music should be and how to combine it with a perfect blend. This is definitely one one of my top picks of 05'- a "must-have". It's definitely worthy of adding to your collection if you are a lover of soul music. Shouts to Peter Hadar track #2 Need Love, which is one of my favorites as well as Chinah Blac, Na2, Eric Roberson, Abby Dobson and Samuel III. Such a talented group of artist on one collection, so be sure to pick this one up and keep supporting real music!!! H20 Productions - Keep up the good work!

  • author: Ivan AKA "The Cake Man"

    Indeed. This is something that the hip-hop industry has been thirsting for. The melodic tunes that h2o provides is like a lost art. The album produces passion and we need more producers like this. The world will thank the LORD for h2o. Great job!!!

  • author: Mike G / 12Tone Studios

    Real classy album, featuring only the best artists and music.

  • author: Jay J

  • h2O Productions has an extremely bright future ahead of them! KUDOS!
    author: Kendra Ross

    I am inspired by the passion that was put into this project. Even though this talented husband and wife production/songwriting team had very minimal resources, their talent (as well as the talent of the other artists involved with this project) shines through. "While U Wait" proves that when you have a God-given gift and the faith to use it, nothing or no one can stop your voice from being heard and hearts from being touched. Congrats Hammie 1 and 2!

  • This music evokes emotion!! I loved it!!!
    author: Erica Lee

    A friend of mine, who happens to be one of the artists on this CD, e-mailed me the information. I took time to listen and was move by the soulfull-ness of the songs and the mellow sounds. I really enjoyed the samples and have requested a copy. An excellent work of art!!!
