Mark Kennedy for the Associated Press pronounces soundtrack "a marvel" here.
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, the co-stars of the musical drama remake of A Star Is Born, announced the movie’s official soundtrack, out October 5, 2018 via Interscope Records. The two leads appear throughout the album’s 34 tracks, either in solo or duet form.
The 2LP traces the creative and romantic arc of the film’s protagonists, Cooper’s Jackson Maine and Lady Gaga’s Ally. The record, rounded out with 15 dialogue tracks, features original material from both the performers, along with writing and production collaborations from Lukas Nelson, Jason Isbell, Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter and Diane Warren, among others. It includes “Shallow” and “Maybe It’s Time,” both of which appeared in the film’s trailer.
Cooper co-wrote and made his directorial debut with A Star Is Born, a remake of the 1937 film of the same name. The movie, which marks Lady Gaga’s first major role, follows the two singer-songwriters as they fall in love, perform together and struggle to manage their separate careers.
The bulk of the film’s music is original, and all of it was recorded live. Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle and Sam Elliott also appear in the project. A Star Is Born is set for a U.S. theatrical release on October 5th, 2018.
