Wolf's Live Lounge session featured a cover of sombr's '12 to 12' alongside two songs from her third album, 'Mud'.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in R&B
Remi Wolf covered sombr's '12 to 12' for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, recorded with host Jack Saunders on November 4. She also performed 'Champagne' and 'Covered in Mud' from her third album, 'Mud', which was released October 9, 2026.
Why it matters
The session places Wolf's new album in the spotlight on one of the most widely followed music radio platforms in the UK, giving international listeners a direct way to hear the record's material. The cover slot also highlights the cross-artist exchange that the Live Lounge format is built around.
The session features three songs in total, with one cover and two originals drawn from 'Mud', Wolf's third album. The stub provides no listener or streaming figures for the session, so its reach beyond the broadcast is unconfirmed.
