PH-THAILAND COLLAB: Talk of a hot and spicy, inter-Asia collaboration.
Sultry drama star Maja Salvador has just finished recording a collab with Thai pop star and pianist Tor in what is predicted to be an Asia-wide sensation.
The duo did their recording at the Karma Studios in Bang Saray, south of Pattaya. Karma is said to be one of Thailand’s finest recording studios, brandishing state of the art facilities and equipment.
The song, “Falling Into You,” was penned by Tor himself. The up-tempo song highlights Tor’s smooth piano-playing skills and vocals, complimented by Maja’s emotion-filled delivery.
It marks Maja’s first time to collaborate with a foreign artist, and Tor’s first time as well to record an English single.
The “Wildflower” star considers doing the song a milestone in her multi-faceted career. Not only is Maja an excellent drama actress, she is also a wild flower on stage, singing while dancing up a storm.
