Heā€™s still just Ken, but now he has his own EP. In addition to dropping a new festive version of ā€œIā€™m Just Kenā€ on Wednesday, December 20, Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson have released two additional remixes of the Oscar-nominated song on Ken the EP. After the success of Barbie this past summer, Ronson reconnected with Gosling and conceptualized multiple new versions of Kenā€™s big song. ā€œI told him I fantasized about us performing the song live, so we started to dream what that might sound like,ā€ explained Ronson on Instagram. ā€œI was also dying to show the song in a different context ā€”Ā he demanded I go ā€˜Full Ronsonā€™ with the arrangement (which i took to mean 2007 motown/wall of sound-obsessed me).ā€ After recording, they realized how Christmasy the song sounded and got together to get it out just in time for the holiday season. The two other remixes ā€” ā€œIā€™m Just Ken (In My Feelings Acoustic)ā€ and ā€œIā€™m Just Ken (Purple Disco Machine Remix)ā€ ā€” of the Billboard charting song follow Pete Davidsonā€™s parody on SNL. But just like in Barbieland, thereā€™s plenty of Kens to go around.
