Ryan Gosling Unveils Ken The EP, Featuring New “I’m Just Ken” Versions – The Hollywood Reporter
Dec 21, 2023
It’s safe to say we can never get (K)enough of Ryan Gosling’s Ken from Barbie.
Gosling, along with Barbie composers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, have unveiled Ken The EP just in time for the holidays.
The EP features the original “I’m Just Ken” from the record-breaking Barbie movie as well as three new versions including “I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie),” “I’m Just Ken (In My Feelings Acoustic)” and “I’m Just Ken (Purple Disco Machine Remix).”
They also dropped a performance video for the holiday remix, which features Gosling and the scoring duo.
Following the release of Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster, “I’m Just Ken” went on to reach top 5 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart as well as earn more than 100 million global streams. Barbie The Album was also nominated for 11 Grammy Awards, and “I’m Just Ken” has been nominated for a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award.
Last month, Ronson and Wyatt spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about what went into scoring Gerwig’s film, including Gosling’s hit track.
The music duo said initially, Gerwig’s just wanted them to create two songs, “Dance the Night” and a Ken song. “It was never in the script [that] Ryan was going to sing,” Ronson explained. “It was just like, ‘If we’re going to have Barbie’s perfect day song, we need a song from Ken’s point of view.’ ”
But then they ended up signing on to compose the whole film as well as adding Gosling’s vocals to the soundtrack. Ronson noted that they only had a few hours to record “I’m Just Ken” with the actor, but that seeing him “performing the song in the studio with, like, every inch of his body” was powerful.
Ken The EP was executive produced by award-winning artist and producer Ronson, and is now playing on music streaming platforms.
