"'Is That Alright?'" is a song from the 2018 film 'A Star Is Born' and soundtrack of the same name, performed by Lady Gaga.
Background and composition
The song was written and produced by Gaga, Mark Nilan Jr., Nick Monson, and Paul "DJWS" Blair with Lukas Nelson and Aaron Raitiere providing additional writing.[https://www.bustle.com/p/the-a-star-is-born-end-credits-song-may-remind-you-of-some-of-lady-gagas-other-iconic-ballads-12160883 The A Star is Born End Credits Song May Remind You Of Some Of Lady Gagas Other Iconic Ballads] TATIANA TENREYRO It is Ally's ode to Jackson (characters in 'A Star Is Born'), painting a picture of their romance as Gaga alternates between tender storyteller and throaty power belter, declaring "wanna see your face when I fall with grace at the moment I die". The song is performed in the key of G major with a moderate tempo of 105 beats per minute in common time. It follows a chord progression of GG/BEmC during the verses and GEmG/B-G during the chorus, and the vocals span from E3 to E5.
Critical reception
According to Joey Morona from 'The Plain Dealer', "Is That Alright?" is a moving love song with Gaga's signature emotion and power. Wren Graves of 'Consequence' called it a big Broadway ballad. Natalie Walker of 'Vulture' found "Is That Alright?" to be best song from the soundtrack, thinking that "the vocal and energetic bipolarity of this song is what makes it so endlessly affecting". She further added: "High notes are impressive, midrange belting is powerful, light and airy falsetto moments are pretty; the tessitura in which the verses of 'Is That Alright' exist strips Gaga bare of any vocal pyrotechnics, and all we are left to focus on are the specifics of her yearning pleas for all-encompassing intimacy." Also from 'Vulture', Richard S. He described the song as a "sparse piano ballad that's more reminiscent of Adele than Lady Gaga", which is "a tragic ode to future dreams that'll go unfulfilled."
