Wasia Project, consisting of brother-sister duo Will Gao and Olivia Hardy, dropped their latest single on July 11th. Entitled “Takes Me Back Home”, the song details being with someone that you love so much that they feel like home to you. The entire song is littered with feelings of nostalgia, spanning from the album artwork that features old photos of Hardy to the Spotify animation that showcases home videos from a trip to Beijing, China.
Hardy’s voice throughout the entire track is stellar. It’s deep and ethereal and enchanting and you just can't help but want to listen. Against the strings and pianos, her voice is stunning. It slowly builds and builds with every note and every lyric. It’s so easy to see why Wasia Project is quickly booming in the music scene. I just want to jump up and sing along to this song whenever it plays.
With the release of “Takes Me Back Home” came the announcement of the band’s second EP. Isotope is expected to hit streaming on August 29th. On it, you could expect to find “Takes Me Back Home” with their previous single “Is This What Love Is?” along with five new tracks. You can also find the band on tour in North America and Europe from September-November, you don’t want to miss them!
