Alright, music lovers, let’s talk about the release we’ve all been waiting for! Samir Moussa and Victoria Renée just dropped their breathtaking cover of ‘Shallow’, and I can tell you right now – it’s everything we hoped for and more! If you’re a fan of the original (you know, the Oscar-winning version by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper), then you’re going to love this rendition.
The Chemistry is Real
The story behind how this collaboration came together is pretty magical. Samir and Victoria first met at a pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles, and the connection was instant. By the end of that week, they had already spent over 20 hours in the studio creating pure musical magic together. Their chemistry is undeniable, and you can feel it in every note of their ‘Shallow’ cover.
For Samir, the collaboration was all about finding that spark, and boy, did they find it. They chose ‘Shallow’ because it perfectly captures the emotional depth and vocal interplay that they were aiming for. And trust me, they nailed it.
A Fresh Take on a Modern Classic
We all know ‘Shallow’ is a powerful song – it’s emotional, it’s raw, and it hits you right in the feels. But Samir and Victoria bring something fresh and uniquely theirs to the track. There’s a sense of intimacy in their version that sets it apart. It’s soulful, it’s deep, and it’s delivered with an emotional intensity that grabs your heart and doesn’t let go.

Samir Moussa’s Voice – A Standout Performance
Let’s take a moment to talk about Samir Moussa’s voice. This guy’s vocals are something else. He’s often compared to legends like Joe Cooker, Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Chris Martin, and after hearing this cover, I can totally see why. There’s a rawness to his voice, a kind of soul that you don’t come across every day. It’s the kind of voice that draws you in and makes you feel every word.
Samir started as a guitarist, but lucky for us, he took that life-changing advice to start singing. And now, we get to experience that incredible voice in tracks like this. His performance on ‘Shallow’ is heartfelt, soulful, and absolutely unforgettable.
Victoria Renée – A Voice Like No Other
Victoria Renée’s vocals are equally impressive. Her voice is like a breath of fresh air—angelic, but with just the right amount of emotional grit. In ‘Shallow’, she delivers the vulnerability and power that the song demands, but with her own unique twist. The way she balances strength and sensitivity in this performance is nothing short of stunning.
Victoria brings an ethereal quality to the song that perfectly complements Samir’s more grounded tones. Together, they create a vocal blend that is as mesmerizing as it is powerful.
The Sound of LA – A Supportive Musical Family
Let’s not forget that this release comes to us via The Sound of LA, a label known for nurturing raw talent and supporting creative vision. Working with former Motown producer and music executive Michael B. Sutton, Samir and Victoria found a label that truly believed in their artistry. It’s clear that The Sound of LA is more than just a label; it’s a family that uplifts its artists.
Samir and Victoria both spoke about how humbling it was to have The Sound of LA’s backing on this project. It’s a partnership that we’re sure will continue to produce incredible music.

Whether you’re already a fan of the original or hearing this song for the first time, this version will blow you away.
