The next instalment of BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge series will be released on 30th October 2015.<\/p>\n
BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge 2015 is the 10th collection in the hugely popular series and once again it showcases the biggest hits of the past year either as cover versions or unique performances by the original artist. This new collection features the first appearances from this year\u2019s breakthrough artists James Bay, Years & Years and Jess Glynne.<\/p>\n
The release also includes Live Lounge returns for Sam Smith, Little Mix, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs and superstars Muse and Kelly Clarkson. Elsewhere on the collection Jungle gives a new slant to Uptown Funk, Ella Henderson tackles James Bay\u2019s Hold Back The River, The Vaccines take on the hit of the summer Omi\u2019s Cheerleader, and Ed Sheeran\u2019s puts his own spin Hozier\u2019s Take Me To Church.<\/p>\n
Clara Amfo says: \u201cThe Live Lounge is no small deal to an artist and all of their great efforts over the last 12 months have been reflected in this collection, from Live Lounge success story James Bay making a Rihanna hit totally his own, to Slaves fantastic version of Skepta\u2019s \u2018Shutdown\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
In September Radio 1 celebrated Live Lounge Month with 29 Live Lounge performances taking place. The first Live Lounge sessions started over 15 years ago during Simon Mayo’s Radio 1 show and they are now overseen by Clara Amfo.<\/p>\n
