On 30 October 2015, the eagerly awaited annual album, celebrating the cream of the past year\u2019s Live Lounge sessions will be released. \u2018BBC Radio 1\u2019s Live Lounge 2015\u2019 is the 10th collection in the hugely popular series that has already sold 4.2 million units to date.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Live Lounge sessions act as a barometer of who\u2019s who, who\u2019s breaking through, and showcases the biggest hits of the past year either as cover versions or unique performances of the artists\u2019 own tracks, Radio 1\u2019s Live Lounge delivers exceptional live performances throughout the year. \u2018BBC Radio 1\u2019s Live Lounge 2015\u2019 is no exception and features the first appearances from this year\u2019s breakthrough artists James Bay, Years & Years and Jess Glynne.<\/p>\n The 10th volume in the successful series also includes Live Lounge returning artists Sam Smith, Little Mix, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs and superstars Muse and Kelly Clarkson. The biggest songs of the year also feature – with Jungle giving a new slant to \u2018Uptown Funk\u2019, Ella Henderson tackling James Bay\u2019s \u2018Hold Back The River\u2019, The Vaccines taking on the hit of the summer Omi\u2019s \u2018Cheerleader\u2019, and global superstar Ed Sheeran\u2019s amazing interpretation of Hozier\u2019s \u2018Take Me To Church\u2019.<\/p>\n With the success of Radio 1\u2019s Live Lounge Month, which saw 29 Live Lounge performances take place throughout September, this year\u2019s album is better than ever.<\/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 The first Live Lounge sessions started over 15 years ago during Simon Mayo\u2019s Radio 1 show, and they are still going strong today under the watchful eye of Clara Amfo, attracting the best acts in the world.\u00a0\u00a0 The bands and artists perform their own track, and a cover version. The tracks are live and stripped down, showing the true quality of the musicianship and craft of the song. This is the ONLY place to get all these unique tracks on one album.<\/p>\n You can preorder the album here via Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 10th album in BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge series is set for release on 30 October.
