<P> The Live Lounge is a segment on the British radio stations BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra . Originally hosted by Jo Whiley on her mid-morning radio show and then by Fearne Cotton from 2009 until 2015 . It is now hosted by Clara Amfo, she has been the host since May 2015 . it exhibits well - known artists usually performing one song of their own and one by another artist, in an acoustic format . The' Live Lounge' itself is also a physical room in the Radio 1 studios, from where some of the performances are broadcast; however, due to its size, many are done from the BBC Maida Vale Studios . From 2009, Trevor Nelson began hosting Live Lounges on his BBC Radio 1Xtra show, and was replaced in that slot by DJ Ace in 2017 . </P> <P> The songs chosen as cover versions are often a completely different genre to that which the artist usually performs, and offer a new perspective on the original . Jamie Cullum's cover of Pharrell Williams's "Frontin"' led to Cullum being signed to Pharrell's label Star Trak when played to him at a later visit to The Jo Whiley Show, and was added to his 2003 album Twentysomething . </P>
