Danielle Bradbery’s stunning cover of “Shallow” made yet another splash as the music video premiered live on Viacom’s Times Square billboard yesterday, May 15, as well as across a variety of CMT and MTV platforms. Her take on the song made famous by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper features fellow-Texan Parker McCollum.
“When I heard ‘Shallow’ from A Star Is Born for the first time, I was blown away. The lyrics, arrangement, Gaga’s voice and the emotion… I was just speechless,” shared Bradbery. “Yet as a singer, I couldn’t wait to find a partner to record this song with.”
The fresh take on the popular song is praised by Billboard as a “memorable cover [that] highlights Bradbery’s powerful vocals alongside McCollum’s spot-on harmonies.” Sounds Like Nashville agrees, noting that it “drips with emotion and feels perfectly suited for a country approach… Bradbery’s voice swells and rolls over the deeply romantic lyrics, while McCollum’s contribution feels both strong and tender at the same time.”
