Attention Barbie fans, Ryan Gosling has just unveiled ‘Ken The EP,’ featuring three new versions of “I’m Just Ken” from everyone’s favorite Barbie movie. It’s like Christmas came early for all of us Ken enthusiasts!
The EP, which was co-created by the talented Barbie composers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, includes the original “I’m Just Ken” from the record-breaking Barbie movie, along with three new versions: “I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie),” “I’m Just Ken (In My Feelings Acoustic),” and “I’m Just Ken (Purple Disco Machine Remix).” Talk about giving us plenty of Ken to groove to!
And if that’s not enough to get you jumping for joy, they’ve also dropped a performance video for the holiday remix, featuring none other than Ryan Gosling himself and the amazing scoring duo. It’s a Ken-tastic holiday treat that we never knew we needed!
Remember when “I’m Just Ken” reached the top 5 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and earned over 100 million global streams? Well, it’s clear that Ken is still making waves in the music world. Barbie The Album was even nominated for 11 Grammy Awards, and “I’m Just Ken” has been recognized with a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award nomination. Ken is officially a music icon!
But let’s not forget how it all started. Ronson and Wyatt revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that initially, they were only asked to create two songs for the Barbie movie. But then, they ended up composing the entire film and even got Ryan Gosling to lend his vocal talents to “I’m Just Ken.” It was never in the script that Gosling would sing, but boy, are we glad he did! And can we just take a moment to appreciate the image of Gosling pouring his heart and soul into the recording studio? Ken has never looked so good!
Executive produced by the incredible Mark Ronson, ‘Ken The EP’ is now available for your listening pleasure on all major music streaming platforms. So, if you’re ready to dive into the Ken universe and experience all the musical magic he has to offer, don’t waste another minute! Have a Ken-tastic time jamming out to “I’m Just Ken” and its fantastic remixes. You won’t be able to get enough of Ken, that’s for sure!
