While the last piece of ticker tape rests on the Eurovision stage in Copenhagen, many of the acts who have competed will be hoping that the experience can launch them into a lengthy music career.

The UK's Molly was one of the best entries we've sent over in years, and with a debut album deal on the table, we caught up with her to talk about her future hopes and plans.

How is work going on the debut album?

"It's not finished, but we've got enough songs. There's a good nine or ten we know are going to be on the album. We want to make sure that when we put it out, every single song can stand on its own and mean something. We want to be fully confident that its what we want the album to sound like. It's very broad, and it's nice that I'm finally able to do that. For a long time, people didn't know where to put me because my style is so diverse."

Where do your influences come from?

"It's just everything. I have a very broad taste and that's the problem. I hate that people can see it as a negative. I could try and write one style of music, but it's a bit boring. I don't know many people who listen to one genre of music. I don't think that's a natural way to be. You should just try and make a song sound as great as it can be and not be restricted by all these other rules. I'm happy about the way the album is shaping up, but hopefully the people will be too! You just don't know."



Have you continued to write new music through the whole Eurovision process?

"The only small, small, small negative about the whole Eurovision whirlwind is that I've not had much time to songwrite. I really miss it, and then when I do get a little window to songwrite, it's just not enough time! I'm really looking forward to having a bit of time to get in the zone."

Can we expect to see you on the festival circuit this summer?

"My biggest dream is to play Glastonbury. I've not made any secret about that fact. That is my favourite place in the world. I honestly think life should be one big festival. We should all live like that."

Can we at least have beds please?

"Yeah, we'll have beds and showers. I would say without the mud as well, but I kind of like a bit of mud. That makes me feel like I'm actually at a festival. I'd love to play the festival scene - that's where I feel most at home."



It's very rare that Eurovision acts get booked for Glastonbury, but you could certainly break that mould.

"I think people are scared of Eurovision and it has connotations of being novelty, and I knew that it would be a brave decision. I knew that, with regards to music festivals, doing Eurovision probably wouldn't help. I'm hoping the music speaks for itself."

Do you think Eurovision was the right choice?

"If in 10 years time I'm looking back and I've had a successful music career, then I can say yes. I think that's all down to me, and it will be about the music following the competition. I feel like this is a really great platform. People have been really positive - like much more positive than I hoped they could be. Now it's just up to me to continue to make more music and hope people will like it."

Molly's debut album will be released later this year, while Eurovision entry 'Children Of The Universe' is available to download now.
