Molly Sandén was the singing voice for Rachel McAdams in the hit Netflix movie, Eurovision – The Story Of Fire Saga. Molly (as her pseudonym, My Marianne) has released a beautiful acoustic version of the popular song from the soundtrack, Husavik (My Hometown).

Molly shot the music video for Husavik (My Hometown) in Sweden on Öland island, where she was joined by Pontus Persson.

Molly represented Sweden at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2006 with Det finaste någon kan få. She has also three times taken part in the Melodifestivalen national selection in Sweden. In 2009 she performed Så vill stjärnorna. Then in 2012 Molly sang Why Am I Crying. In 2016 she performed Youniverse. I wonder if Molly will be back in 2021 with an attempt for Eurovision?

You can hear the charming version of Husavik (My Hometown) below.
