Today the submission to the Melodifestivalen 2022 closed and there are many who want to participate and compete. As many as 2,530 songs have been uploaded and now the jury, led by producer Karin Gunnarsson, will listen through the entries.
– It is incredibly fun to see how engaging the Melodifestivalen is. For the past ten years, we have received an average of 2,500 grants each year. I can not help but think of the musical breadth that exists in our country and the joy of writing that makes the Melodifestivalen replenish the Swedish song treasure every year. Like this year. Many of this year’s Mello songs are still streamed and several are played regularly on the radio, says Karin Gunnarsson .
She continues: – It is always just as exciting to hear what has come in. It will be great fun to take part in all the entries and start working on a strong starting field that will compete in the Melodifestivalen 2022.
