reports that singer-songwriter Steve Ronsen has threatened a lawsuit against Gaga and musician Mark Ronson, claiming that the track features the same three-note progression found in his song “Almost,” which was released on SoundCloud in 2012.. “There are other writers that wrote the ‘Shallow’ song, including Mark Ronson. I have secured a musicologist who also agrees that the songs are similar. I am simply going about this how anyone else would investigate any possible infringement.
Lady Gaga and her team responded to the claims right away, countering Ronsen’s argument with accusations that he simply wants to capitalize on “Shallow”’s success. “Mr. Ronsen and his lawyer are trying to make easy money off the back of a successful artist.
