Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Eliana (class of 2026) and features the English pop duo Wasia Project.
Wasia Project
Wasia Project is an up-and-coming English sibling alt-pop-duo created in 2019 by Olivia Hardy and William Gao. The name “Wasia” comes from a mix of Chinese and English, reflecting the backgrounds of the two artists. With Olivia on vocals and guitar and William on vocals, keyboards, and piano, the two have made a name for themselves. They released their first track called “why don’t u love me” in 2019 and later released the EP “how can i pretend” in 2022. I personally saw Wasia Project when they opened for Laufey in DC, and even though I had listened to them previously, I fell even more in love with their music after seeing them. Some of my favorites are “ur so pretty,” “impossible,” and “Remember When.” The songs give me a nostalgic and longing feel through the different use of vocals and instrumentals.
