 |
| Cantonese version | Mandarin version |
2 different language versions; 2 different sets of lyrics; 2 different ways of interpretation – but the songs will touch your heart all the same!
"Wait..." solo album featuring Anthony Chan is a collaboration of jnX and renowned Christian producer and songwriter Peter Kam.
Mandarin version CD and "Wait" Songbook are available now!
"Wait..." is a continuation from "Love Journeys". Walking in a journey God called him to start years ago, the songs captured Anthony's experiences and reflections during this time in trusting God (Every Day Every Moment / Every Day); finding contentment in God (Flowers in the Wind); knowing God is by his side in the midst trials and hardships (Never Let Go / I Can Go On Because Of You); dedicating whole-heartedly to God (Dedicate My All); and surrendering totally to God's plan and timing (Wait...).

About Anthony's experience of this partnership and the process of producing the album:
In 1999, through the songs in my first solo album "Love Journeys," I was able to tell you about the ups and downs of my experience in my walk with God through many years of my life. Several years later, all the experiences I've accumulated in this continuing journey have once again been turned into new songs that I am now sharing with you.
Producing the “Wait…” album has been literally a lesson in ‘waiting’. After more than a year of seeking and waiting before the Lord, and another year of ‘on and off’ production, the Cantonese version was released in February 2004. Now more than a year had gone by, the Mandarin version has finally been completed.
As early as 2001, Peter Kam started talking with me about an idea to collaborate on a project. I kept asking God for His confirmation, and asking myself whether I had any hidden selfish motives in this whole thing. Knowing that jnX has very limited resources, I needed to make a decision that was in full compliance to God's will.
Collaborating with Peter Kam was a wonderful experience. The experience stood out beyond description as a unique and amazing chapter in my thirty-some years of music ministry. Through the discussions about songwriting perspectives and the creative process of putting everything together, we relished a deep sense of "being one in spirit".
I hope that the songs that we crafted in the "Wait..." CD project will bring you much inspiration, encouragement, and a deepening knowledge of God.

| Sharing from Peter Kam |

I remember when I first met Anthony Chan a few years ago, he played for me a few tracks from the "Love Journeys" project that was being produced at the time. I was immediately attracted by his unique voice -- in his singing, you can hear his sincere heart, and there was a sense of closeness and it pulled my heartstrings. Now, after a few years, it was amazing that God allowed us a chance to serve together.
As a music producer and songwriter, it is of course my hope that my compositions can be performed by a singer with a great voice. But more importantly, I hope the singer has his own internal voice, using singing as a tool to empty himself and share his life with others.
Through this collaboration with Anthony, I really feel that he is a singer with "a voice" as well as an earnest desire to testify of God. During the process of producing the project, we could also see the wonderful arrangements that God had for us. In matters of our choices in the songs, the theme, and the lyrics, we experienced a kind of effortless mutual understanding, such that we would quickly arrive at an accord in how we express and communicate ourselves.
I hope that God would use the "Wait..." CD project, as well as Anthony's voice and testimony, to teach us how to wait for the voice of God Himself.
