“Shallow” is a folk-pop song performed by the American songwriter, singer and actress Lady Gaga and American filmmaker and musician Bradley Cooper. It was released in 2018 as the pivotal single from the soundtrack to the drama film directed by Cooper “A Star Is Born”. The composition was written by Gaga and a team of talented songwriters – Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando, and Andrew Wyatt. Lyrically, the ballad tells a story of Gaga’s and Cooper’s film characters who were afraid to fall in love but eventually decided to ‘stay away from the shallow’ and dive deeper into their relationship. In the original recording, the power ballad is played in the key of G major at the tempo 96 bpm and features piano and electric guitar. “Shallow” was widely praised by the critics, especially after the emotional duet-performance at the Oscars ceremony. It became the Best Original Song at a number of award shows including the Golden Globe, Grammy, and Academy Awards. The song also has also become one of the compositions with the biggest number of awards and nominations to date.

I can't name a better contemporary song to be performed as a piano and voice duet. Shallow is just perfect for that and I think it will remain on the peak of popularity for a long time until Lady Gaga and her colleagues write another masterpiece of the kind (I know there's a team of extremely talented people behind this beautiful work). The song, just like the movie itself is worth a few Oscars. The emotive lyrics, the soft piano solo, it is by far the most romantic composition I've played for a long time,
