Ryan Gosling gifts new version of \u2018I\u2019m Just Ken\u2019 for Christmas Warner Bros.Actor Ryan Gosling teased a brand new Christmas-style version of his hit song \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d from the Barbie soundtrack. Thanks to a star-turning performance as Ken in Barbie, Ryan Gosling became synonymous with Kenergy. \u201cAnywhere else I\u2019d be a 10,\u201d he laments in the show-stopping \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d musical number. As a dance-off against the other kens, Gosling\u2019s plastic plaything proudly dazzles with some fancy footwork to the pulsing beat in a Grease-meets-Westside-Story sort of way. Ahead of Christmas, Gosling readies a brand new version of the song, expected in full on December 20. Ryan Gosling teases a new version of \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d In a brand new teaser, Ryan Gosling can be seen working in the studio with none other than Mark Ronson, who\u2019s produced for everyone from Lady Gaga to Dua Lipa and Bruno Mars. Ronson also produced the original version of the song. A new rendition of \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d plays in the background. Noticeably, Ronson bulks up the performance with even bigger drums, different backing vocals, and a spirited Christmas sensibility. \u201cSo, hey, world, check me out, I\u2019m just Ken,\u201d sings Gosling. As Ronson bends over the console, the actor tinkers with various faders and dials, as a way to treat the listener to the song\u2019s revamped style and tone. \u201cYou handle this, Ken,\u201d Ronson quips. On working with Gosling, Ronson previously told Entertainment Weekly, \u201cWe hadn\u2019t met before, we just went into the studio and talked about music. As he started to get warmed up, I was like, \u2018Oh my god, this guy is gonna murder this song.\u2019 And of course, he would. He\u2019s Ken. Who would understand this song better than him.\u201d In August 2023, \u201cI\u2019m Just Ken\u201d bowed at No. 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since amassed 95 million streams on Spotify. The accompanying Barbie soundtrack made a No. 2 bow on the Billboard 200 and scored other hits like Dua Lipa\u2019s \u201cDance the Night.\u201d For more entertainment news, keep it locked to Dexerto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
