Sam Smith and Disclosure were the guests of BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge" on Wednesday, September 16. During their visit to the show, they teamed up to perform their newest collaboration "Omen" as well as a cover of Drake's "Hotline Bling".

For their take on Drizzy's track, Smith and Disclosure sped up the tempo. The 23-year-old crooner showed off his soulful vocals alongside some backing singers while the British duo made up of brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence replaced the original's mellow instrumentals with thumping electronic beat.

"Drake and [Kendrick Lamar] are absolutely killing it at the moment," Guy Howard said before performing the cover. "They're like mine and Howard's faves at the moment in that world, and yeah, it made sense to choose this song."

Editors' Pick

Smith and Disclosure stopped by "Live Lounge" just days before the latter drops their new album "Caracal". Set to come out on September 25 via PMR/Island, the record also boasts guest appearances from Gregory Porter, Lorde, The Weeknd, Miguel, Kwabs and more.
