Maria Celin Strisland, a 22-year-old singer from Mandal, Norway, competed on “The Voice Norway” in 2017, and the video of her performance is still racking up views on YouTube years later. So far, more than 6.3 million people have witnessed her stunning rendition of “Runnin’ (Lose It All),” an original song by record producer Naughty Boy that features Beyoncé and Arrow Benjamin.
