Picture this: a studio decked out in twinkling Christmas lights, filled with the joyful sounds of holiday music. In the midst of it all, three talented individuals - Ryan Gosling, Mark Ronson, and Andrew Wyatt - come together to create a festive masterpiece. No, it's not the North Pole; it's the making of the 'I'm Just Ken' holiday remix.
Released as part of the 'I'm Just Ken' EP, this catchy power ballad has captured the hearts of many since its original Grammy-nominated version was featured in the film. But now, just in time for Christmas, Gosling, Ronson, and Wyatt have given it a joyful twist. And let me tell you, it's pure holiday magic!
In the official music video accompanying the 'I'm Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)' remix, we get a behind-the-scenes peek at the creative process. The studio radiates with the warmth of Christmas spirit, as lights twinkle overhead. Gosling, Wyatt, and Ronson gather around, sharing laughs and banter as they work their musical magic.
As they experiment with different sounds, Gosling playfully dons a pair of sunglasses, transforming himself into his character, Ken. 'The world can have Ken's voice,' he jokes, 'but only Barbie can have his eyes.' With his trademark charm, Gosling adds an extra touch of whimsy to the festivities.
Accompanied by a full band, including talented cellists, violinists, and even a glockenspiel, the 'I'm Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)' remix takes on a triumphant and enchanting quality. Gosling's vocals, enhanced by a touch of reverb, soar through the air, bringing the holiday spirit to life. The lyrics capture the essence of Ken's character, with a chorus that proudly proclaims, 'I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a 10.'
This delightful remix has not gone unnoticed in the industry. 'I'm Just Ken' has been nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the upcoming 2024 Grammy Awards and is also in the running for the Golden Globe for Best Original Song. It's a testament to the talent and creativity of Gosling, Ronson, and Wyatt, as they bring joy to screens and sound systems alike.
