“I’m proud to play Ken” – he said in one of the interviews and the latest clip from the film shows it well. Shot in the style of a music video from the 1980s, the sequence perfectly illustrates the morally disturbing words of the ballad, which tells the story of Ken’s difficult life. He loves Barbie, she only sees him as a friend, and although he can do so many things, it’s always and everywhere that counts only for her, and he is treated as an addition to her life. In addition, she cries out of despair and dances – without a shirt, of course.
Gosling sings Ken’s song in “Barbie”. It’s hard to stop listening to it
The actor has a decent musical background. As a child, he was a dancer and competed in competitions, then he belonged to the famous TV “Mickey Mouse Club”, where, like Britney Spears, Christina Aguliera and Justin Timberlake, he sang and danced as much as he could. He also has his own band, Dead Man’s Bones, in which he sings, plays piano, guitar and bass. He also composes and writes his own lyrics.
Ryan Gosling sang his song “I’m Just Ken” so well that when the producer of the soundtrack sent the recording to Slash, he agreed to overdub the song. He thought the piece was really cool. Who can be believed, but the guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, when he says that some power ballad is good. It’s best to listen to it yourself:
Producer Mark Ronson told in an interview about what the recordings for the song looked like. “It was so crazy. Ryan Gosling is the big star of this movie and we only had three hours on a roller skate afternoon to record the vocals. He came in and started warming up his voice. I knew then that this guy was going to rock this song. Of course he would did,” he recalls. “I’m so pumped up. We worked on it about a year after he recorded the vocals. When I sent him the final version with Slash’s part, he was so excited and happy. And that’s exactly what you hope for when you do his sound for someone.” he explained.
Let us remind you that the soundtrack will also feature a song by Billie Eilish, specially written for the film, as well as artists such as Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, Karol G, Khalid, Ice Spice, Charli XCX, HAIM, The Kid Laroi, Ava Max and many others. Meanwhile, the Polish premiere of “Barbie” is not until July 21. “Only” because the more we know about this movie, the more we can’t wait to see it.
