We simply can’t get (k)enough of Ryan Gosling.
Gosling, known for his role as Ken in Barbie, has released Ken The EP, bringing festive joy to Barbie fans with three new versions of the Grammy-nominated song ‘I’m Just Ken’. The EP, dropped just in time for the holidays, features a special Christmas rendition titled ‘I’m Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie).’ This version comes alive in a music video where Gosling, donning his iconic Ken shades, performs amidst vibrant Christmas lights.
The EP showcases a diverse range of versions, including the acoustic ‘I’m Just Ken (In My Feelings Acoustic)‘ and the upbeat ‘I’m Just Ken (Purple Disco Machine Remix)‘. Created in collaboration with Barbie soundtrack producers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, the song contributes to the film’s impressive tally of 12 Grammy nominations.
Gosling’s portrayal of Ken in the Barbie movie has captured the hearts of audiences, and this EP is a continuation of that charm. The EP also includes the original chart-topping ‘I’m Just Ken’, which gained widespread popularity, even featuring in a Saturday Night Live parody by Pete Davidson.
The Barbie The Album X/Twitter account teased fans with snippets of the festive track. For those who can’t get (k)enough, the full music video is available on YouTube. Ryan Gosling’s reminder that “Ken is for life, not just for Christmas” is reflected in the EP, which besides the holiday track, offers a mix of acoustic and remixed versions for varied musical tastes.
Ken The EP, executive produced by the acclaimed Ronson, is now available on music streaming platforms.
Natalie is a big fan of anything related to movies, TV shows, games, and comics — you name it. When she’s not reading or geeking out about the latest shows on Netflix, she’s probably playing Honkai: Star Rail, cosplaying, or daydreaming of meeting her idols.
