Rosie has the opportunity to chat to Tone Sekelius before her performance at this weekend’s Melodifestivalen second chance round. They discuss what has happened between her deltävling and this weekend’s performance, the impact of the last few years of her life and the world as a whole on her music, and that black dress.
