譯Pitchfork評Lady Gaga/ Bradley Cooper 2018年單曲“Shallow”

The dramatic theme of?A Star Is Born
《一個明星的誕生》的電影主題曲。
In 2011,?Lady Gaga?released “You & I,” a honky-tonk ballad that chimed more with Shania Twain and country rock musical numbers than with her pop beginnings. With that in mind, students of Gaga were not entirely surprised by her last full-length album, 2016’s?Joanne. Talked up as a sudden about-turn search for “authenticity” (please, no), the signs had long been there that Gaga would strip down to rootsy, showtune basics like a Broadway Dolly Parton.?Joanne?necessarily bled into what comes now: her lead role in Bradley Cooper’s remake of?A Star Is Born. For Gaga, talk of “authenticity” is useless. Gaga has always been a theatrical phenom; hers is a complete blurring of life and show. A star, she was born.
在2011年,Lady Gaga發(fā)行單曲?“You & I”,一首酒吧爵士抒情曲,這首歌比起她早期出道時的流行音樂,與Shania Twain和鄉(xiāng)村搖滾歌曲聯(lián)系更緊密??紤]到這一點(diǎn),Lady Gaga的粉絲對她2016年專輯《Joanne》的發(fā)行并不詫異,認(rèn)為這是她為探索音樂根源的徹底轉(zhuǎn)型(拜托,不要)。很多跡象早已表明Lady Gaga會像Dolly Parton參與百老匯一樣返璞歸真至傳統(tǒng)戲曲。專輯《Joanne》之后她必然會做出現(xiàn)在的動作。她在Bradley Cooper翻拍的電影《A Star Is Born》中領(lǐng)銜主演,對Gaga來說,談?wù)摗罢嫖摇笔菬o用的。Gaga至始至終都是位戲劇天才,她的作品在現(xiàn)實與舞臺間飄忽。一位巨星,脫穎而出。
“Shallow,” the original theme of?A Star Is Born, may prove to be Gaga’s own apex in the spotlight, her completion into superstar of charts?and?screen. “Shallow” is a slow-building conversation around picked guitar, beginning with Bradley Cooper’s inviting “tell me something, girl.” He doesn’t quite have the deep growl of a Kris Kristofferson (who played opposite Barbra Streisand in the 1976 film) but pulls off the earnestness required to hand over to his far superior singing partner; his restraint recognizes that it’s not his moment to shine but hers. Gaga carries everything here with familiar battleworn strength; her voice begins sturdy and climbs to a heady wail. Eventually she shatters the ceiling, coursing across a body of drums and pedal steel guitar, belting, “We’re far from the shallow now.” Her performance suggests?A Star Is Born?will be a tale of grit, determination, and high-stakes drama. What else have we come to expect from Lady Gaga?
《A Star Is Born》的電影首發(fā)主題曲“Shallow”可能會成為Lady Gaga的職業(yè)巔峰時刻,晉升為影音雙棲巨星?!癝hallow”在指彈吉他下展開一段舒緩的對話,開頭是Bradley Cooper魅惑地唱著?“tell me something, girl.”,他沒有Kris Kristofferson(在1976年版電影中與Barbra Streisand演對手戲)那種低沉怒吼的聲線,但他極力展現(xiàn)的誠摯足以襯托他輾壓全場的搭檔。他的低調(diào)造就Lady Gaga的高光時刻,Gaga再次在歌曲中展現(xiàn)排山倒海般的強(qiáng)勁嗓音,她的聲線越發(fā)粗壯,之后變?yōu)榧ぐ旱陌?。最終,她打破天花板,在鼓聲和立式電吉他間狂奔喊唱著“We’re far from the shallow now.”? 她的演繹暗示《一個明星的誕生》將是一個講述關(guān)于勇氣,毅力,孤注一擲拼搏的電影。我們還能再要求Lady Gaga變得再完美一些嗎?
