Molly Hammar
Molly Hammar, the Swedish chart-topping RnB sensation hailing from Stockholm, released her upbeat late summer groove ‘Get To Know Me First’ on August 14th. The single was co-written with Benjamin Ingrosso, Philip Holmgren & Mack (Zara Larsson), produced by Philip Holmgren and features fellow Nordic artists Julie Bergan and Awa on vocals. The collaboration champions sisterhood and encourages ladies across the globe to embrace themselves and empower each other by having one another’s back.
Molly was signed to a major record label in her native Sweden during her teens and was propelled into the limelight, but the commercial pop she was making did not fit with her artistic vision. Obsessed with R&B and keen to make more of her versatile voice and background in jazz and soul she split from her record label and flourished under her newfound creative control. In 2018 Molly Hammar truly found her own sound with the release of her critically acclaimed EP ‘Sex’. Singing about female sexuality from a very personal perspective sparked Molly’s inspiration and helped her grow a fanbase of young girls who could relate to her message.
Follow-up singles such as the Big Narstie collaboration ‘No Place Like Me’, pop banger ‘Words’, her soulful Kim Cesarion duet ‘Show Me’, radio ready hit ballad ‘Shortcuts’ and recent hit single ‘Alone’ have enabled Molly to balance the perfect combination of kick ass R&B vocals and soulful beats, with a truly contemporary pop sound. Recent releases have garnered widespread media support across the UK and globally from the likes of BBC Radio 2, BBC 1Xtra, Channel 4, Billboard, The Line of Best Fit, Complex, NYLON and Idolator to name but a few. Molly also played the Swedish equivalent of Beyonce’s character Nala in the live-action adaption of ‘The Lion King’.
