Ryan Gosling has become one of the star actors in 2023. Along with Margot Robbie, he stars in one of the highest-grossing films of this year, Barbie, with which he has not only triumphed on a cinematographic level, but also on a musical level. And one of the songs that the Canadian performs in the film has been a complete success.
I’m Just Ken is, without a doubt, the song that has resonated at the exit of the cinema every time someone has gone to see the film directed by Greta Gerwig. So much so, that they have decided to create their own Christmas version. And it was Gosling who sang it live surrounded by Christmas lights.
Ryan Gosling is a multifaceted character. The actor is not only dedicated to acting, but since 2007 he has also been involved in the world of music. For this reason, it is not surprising that he was chosen for the important role of Ken, taking into account that he plays one of the most relevant themes in the film.
And it seems that he has not had enough with one song, but has released an entire album, Ken, The EP. In this one, not only does he sing, but he collaborates with such renowned musicians as Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. But if there is something that has surprised him, and that he has especially liked, it has been one of the versions that he has made of I’m Just Ken.
Merry Kristmas, Barbie, translated as ‘Merry Christmas, Barbie’, is the carol by Ryan Gosling that is going to be a hit at Christmas. And it is not surprising that it plays more than once at family dinners or at impromptu karaokes with grandmother or brother-in-law.
Surrounded by garlands, Christmas lights, various decorations and musical instruments, the actor appears in the video clip recorded live with a dim light that makes him get into the role. A clip that in a short time has exceeded 1.3 million views and has 75 thousand likes.
Along with this song, it is joined by two more versions: In My Feelings Acoustic, an acoustic ballad, and Purple Disco Machine Remix, a disco version. Although it is very certain that this album will do well, it is very likely that it will not even come close to the success achieved by Barbie The Album. Not only does the actor appear on the film’s album, but he was also joined by international figures such as Dua Lipa and Nicki Minaj.
Such was their popularity and their journey on the charts, that they also garnered several nominations for important awards. I’m Just Ken (Ryan Gosling), Dance the Night (Dua Lipa) and What Was I Made For? (Billie Eilish), have earned nominations for the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice. But the first has the honor of fighting for a 2024 Grammy Award.
