    Overall only one song manages to be decent, which would have to be GaGa's cover of the classic "La Vie En Rose". The other songs are just a screaming disaster with unpolished vocals. This soundtrack really showcases GaGa's inability to write good music. Sadly, even Bradley's songs don't do much, even though his voice is much more pleasing than GaGa's.

Not all of them! The country and rock-leaning songs work excellently, like the opening barn burner Black Eyes to what might win the Best Original Song Oscar Shallow, they have great care and even a bit of polished authenticity to make it work on the radio! They work within the film's context and even work on their own if you have no idea it's from a film or even with Bradley Cooper singing them. However it's when the album goes into the pop songs that's when the album drags. Yeah the pop songs drag the soundtrack and not the dialogue cuts! Songs like Heal Me, Why Did You Do That?, and Before I Cry are pretty sterile and bland, and while I'm not much of a Lady Gaga person (I like some songs from her and did enjoy Joanne a fair bit), these would be either filler cuts or left on the cutting room floor. Plus with the R&B leaning songs like Heal Me it does not work for Gaga! She's not a good fit for this style of music! I would still get the soundtrack because I like a fair bit of the songs here, but like most musical soundtracks they work better on screen than without the visual accompaniment. Expand

These two artists are unique in their own way, but when their work collide, it's even more powerful. The live recorded tracks emphasize

These two artists are unique in their own way, but when their work collide, it's even more powerful. The live recorded tracks emphasize their authentic approach and talent.

    Standout tracks: 'I'll Never Love Again' (Lady Gaga) is an instant timeless heartbreak classic. 'Maybe It's Time' (Bradley Cooper) is a positive message for anyone fighting addiction. I find it very inspirational in a personal way. The song immediately 'connected' with my soul. 'Is That Alright?' (Lady Gaga) - oh my gosh! I'd like to play this song on my wedding. A love song without hiding honest feelings. 'Always Remember Us This Way' is a catchy ballad serving Elton John vibes. Since 'Shallow' is the #1 song worldwide for 8 days straight already, I don't have to expand on that. It's a song adored by music fans and will be stuck in your head for a long time.

    Songs with a pop twist - 'Heal Me', 'Hair Body Face' and 'Why Did You Do That?' - are not too shabby either. Bradley rocks in 'Black Eyes' and 'Alibi'.

    The soundtrack is neatly compiled and the dialogue in between the tracks provide a true cinematic-musical vibe. Congratulations to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, also every producer and songwriter part of this project. May 'A Star Is Born' soar!

Os solos do Bradley tem uma pegada rock e country rock, os duetos são country e os solos da Gaga variam de pop à baladas poderosas. Os diálogos presentes na soundtrack como intro de cada música com certeza devem dar uma sensação incrível para quem já assistiu o filme, deve ser como se o estivesse revendo. Na minha opinião, o destaque da trilha são as baladas I'll Never Love Again, Is That Alright, Always Remember Us This Way, Before I Cry e claro, o dueto country Shallow.

    A little note for the Americans: This album is a soundtrack to a movie and not a solo album by Gaga, although most of the songs are composed by her. Learn to differentiate ... The film is being extremely acclaimed and for those who are coming here to give negative notes to it, a little advice, watch the movie and then listen to the soundtrack of the film with the dialogues, surely you'll change your opinion and you'll have a wonderful experience.

    Already sounds like a classic album, there are so many great songs, some of them the bests of Gaga's catalog. Highlights: Shallow, Before I Cry, Is That Alright? and Always Remember us This way. Even the more pop songs of Ally are good and fun to hear what includes bops like Hair Body Face and Heal Me. But the ballads are the masterpieces of the album.

    Listened today and couldn't believe how awful and depressing it was. Only 4 good tracks out of 19. The rest are just annoying dialogues. Avoid at ALL costs.

    There’s undoubtedly a strong 10-song album lodged at the core of A Star Is Born, but unlike the film, wherein an outsized sense of sentimentality is rendered affecting by the more grounded performances, there’s not nearly enough substance here to justify all the bombast.

    Save for a digital flourish or two on the pop songs that make up much of the film’s back half, there’s very little here that would’ve sounded out of place on blockbuster film soundtracks of decades past. At its peaks, the album delivers on the promise of its star-wattage with some of the most affecting and emotionally overwhelming pop songs of the year.
  3. Overall though, A Star is Born is one of the best Hollywood soundtracks of recent years. Far from being Oscar bait, these are songs that could feasibly shine on their own--and ones that feel entirely believable.
