Barbie Soundtrack Features Today's Top Artists and Ryan Gosling, But No Aqua

Barbie has finally hit the big screen after years of development, with Margot Robbie taking on the role of the iconic doll. Joining her on the cast is Ryan Gosling, who not only showcases his acting skills as Barbie's faithful boyfriend Ken but also contributes to the film's soundtrack. Headlined by today's biggest pop stars such as Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Ice Spice, and Nicki Minaj, the soundtrack boasts an impressive lineup. However, Aqua's iconic song "Barbie Girl" will reportedly not be featured in the film, making them noticeably absent from the revealed list of soundtrack artists. Stay tuned for more artist announcements.

Ryan Gosling may be known for his acting skills, but he also has a quirky musical history. He was part of the Canadian pop group Dead Man's Bones, which he formed with his friend Zach Shields in 2007. The duo released their self-titled album in 2009, which featured haunting vocals, eerie sounds, and children's choir.

Gosling also showed off his musical talents in the 2010 film "Blue Valentine," where he played a ukulele and sang a cover of the classic song "You Always Hurt the One You Love." In addition, he played keyboards and sang backup vocals for indie rock band The Silverlake Conservatory of Music in 2011.

Despite his musical endeavors, Gosling has stated that he doesn't plan on pursuing music as a career. However, fans can still enjoy his unique musical contributions through his past projects.

Despite being mostly known for his acting career, Ryan Gosling has proven to be a talented musician as well. Fans of the movie La La Land are familiar with his impressive singing and dancing abilities, but his musical experience goes beyond that. He has 16 soundtrack credits on IMDb for his work as a musical performer in various films, including Blue Valentine, Lars and the Real Girl, and Song to Song, a Terrence Malick film set in Austin. Gosling's presence among famous pop stars may come as a surprise, but his musical talent is not to be underestimated.

Gosling's talents extend beyond acting and dancing in films. He is also a musician and was a member of the rock duo Dead Man's Bones, who released their only album in 2009. One of the tracks from their Halloween-themed album, "In the Room Where You Sleep," was featured in the movie The Conjuring, and others appeared on the show Dollhouse.

Recently, Gosling has contributed a track to the upcoming Barbie movie, adding to his unique and eclectic musical career. It remains to be seen if he will perform the song in the film, but with the glimpses of Greta Gerwig's Barbie trailers, a full-on musical number with Ken doesn't seem out of the question.
