This Mashup video made by AnDy Wu on April 8th was praised by the online magazine Vanyaland.com on April 11th, 2022.
“Now, “As It Was” receives the knighted mash-up treatment it so very deserves, courtesy of AnDy Wu Musicland, who skillfully meshes it with a-ha’s iconic and immortal ’80s synth-pop track “Take On Me.””
“Wu’s mashup is a whole lot of fun, and we also hope it leads to Styles’ fanbase digging deeper into the brilliant a-ha catalog and discovering some of the Norwegian trio’s pioneering foundation of electronic pop music. Maybe we’ll even see “Scoundrel Days” or “The Swing of Things” in a new TikTok trend.”
