Songs of the year, number 4: Wasia Project - Is This What Love Is? (Visualiser)

Young brother/sister duo Wasia Project are comprised of William Gao and Olivia Hardy. The swooping, soaring, dreamy indie anthem that is 'Is This What Love Is?' was released as part of the duo's 2nd EP Isotope earlier this year and instantly proved itself to be an atmospheric classic. While much is expected of the band they are, wisely, taking it slowly and building their sound at their own pace. It is fair to say that their debut album, when it comes, will have been worth waiting for. 

Wasia Project - Is This What Love Is?

Brother/Sister duo Wasia Project, comprised of Olivia Hardy and William Gao, have been making low key thoughtful indie pop with jazz influences since 2019. 'Is This What Love Is?' is their second most recent single and I like the way it builds slowly with complex piano before the elegant swoop of Hardy's vocals drive it on. It's a musically complex, textured piece with a strong mood and a beautiful elegance and sophistication that really showcases what the duo of Hardy and Gao can do.
