THOR, premier R&B singer, performer & songwriter steps out into the spotlight with his new album SOUL OBSESSIONS: DUETS WITH THOR. A remix of songs heard on the WAVE 89.1 playlist, but this time sung with THOR’s favorite people. SOUL OBSESSIONS: DUETS WITH THOR features the best singers in the recording industry today.

R&B dominates the over-all sound of the album of course, and THOR, a great soul singer in his own right (an Awit awardee no less) shuns the twist and turns of R&B singing in the album opener in favor of some good old fashioned singing – putting the song first and histrionics on the sideline as evidenced by the sublime vocal yearnings of THOR and MYMP’s Juris Fernandez on Be My Number Two, of course Chin Alcantara isn’t far behind on the guitar. The classy duet on the standard You Don’t Know Me with the fresh voiced bossa singer Sofia is also a sample championing substance over technique.

Of course an album that features some of the best R&B singers in the scene, it can’t be helped but be carried away in doing some vocal stylings, and DUETS WITH THOR is ripe with some stunning singing from such esteemed singers such as his duet with the soul siren, Nina on Whenever You Call.
Check out the smooth way his voice rubs with the Amber’s equally sexy vocals   on Spend My Life With You. Or on the achingly beautiful take by THOR and Jay Durias of Southborder on What About Love. And the new yet familiar take on Suddenly with Jinky Vidal of Freestyle.  And it definitely gets funky and  playful with Luke Mejares on The Girl Is Mine, and up and coming R&B band Natural High shows everyone what they’re made of with an equally stunning duet with Thor on Everytime I Close My Eyes.

Duets With Thor also features the best musical sessionists around, namely ace-guitarist Cesar Aguas on the song I’m Ready and violinist Jerome Nuñez on Just One Dance, which is one of only two originals in the album, the other being Home written by Thor himself.  

Gary Caoili, station manager and program director of WAVE 89.1   says that “There is no secret to the sound of THOR, he’s just pure, raw, unadulterated talent. That is why WAVE 89.1 and Ivory Music is proud to release the album, the songs, and the artists that collaborated to make SOUL OBSESSIONS – DUETS WITH THOR. You’ll be pampering your senses with an array of R&B music perfectly mixed for your ears only. Listeners shouldn’t deny themselves of this pleasure” Thor recently previewed his album at WAVE 89.1’s Anniversary event at the Silvercity Auto hall last October 27, with his star studded guests.
