Love a Live Lounge...

Radio 1 live lounge is one of my favourite things to listen to; although I like the acoustic versions of artists' own songs, I love hearing them cover something completely different. Here's a few of my favourite live lounges over the last few years and why they're so great....

Ben Howard covers Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen Such a great version!! This man is beautiful anyway, but he manages to turn this repetitive generic pop song into something mysterious and haunting- l.o.v.e.

The Noisettes cover When You Were Young, The Killers  This is just pure & lovely. Great orchestration, and pulls back a pretty full on song. Delicious.

Arctic Monkeys cover Katy On A Mission, Katy B Alex Turner makes this song. Just beaut.

Adele covers Promise This, Cheryl Cole Great voice, turns a v. average song into a lovely little piece.

The Vamps cover Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High, Arctic Monkeys Love the jazzy edge to this- turned an already brilliant song into something a little bit different. Brave to take on such a hit, but definitely works! Also gets credit for putting R Kelly in...

Any favourite suggestions?
