Thank you for addressing this. I really liked the nod which Helen Mirren gave to TPAB, when she said to Barbie - I know you were conflicting, misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same.
It’s a shame you didn’t mention the Frank Sinatra track. It was so well used too since the song came out when it was set, and after Ken died of radiation after the atomic bombing.
@@bollywoodoverhollywood8139 YEs it is true "At the LA premiere of Barbie on Sunday, 9th July, producer and songwriter Mark Ronson, who co-wrote ‘I’m Just Ken’ with Andrew Wyatt for the film’s soundtrack, confirmed that Slash plays guitar on the song. In an interview with Variety, Ronson explained how his “all-time hero” ended up working on the film: “I sent him the song, and he was like, ‘This is a good song… cool, I’ll play on it.’ He kills it, he plays the solo at the end and the rhythm parts. It’s wonderful.”
I'm Just Ken manages to fit a ton of male taboos / patriarchy stigmas (male romantism, the need to be "someone" and "have someone", feelings and male friendly affection) in short and fun verses. Low key got me emotional and i didn't even noticed why at the moment.
I liked the Hans Zimmer song that was like BWAAAAAAAAH with the string arps. Havent seen it yet. But I figured this is a Chris Nolan so it's a safe bet.
I was literally just thinking this morning that it's a shame you don't review soundtracks because I really wanted to hear your thoughts, so this is a pleasant surprise! And yeah, I think this is a pretty fair and solid review, the album has some bangers throughout, but the latter half does flag a bit. Also very much appreciate the solidarity statement with WGA/SAG-AFTRA. Melon solidarity is kenough.
I liked it in the credits after watching the movie, but I wouldn't listen to it later. It reminded me of that 90s thing where rappers would rap about teenage mutant ninja turtles or whatever in the credits and it was always fun in the cinema, but like, no where else.
The Ice Spice track is track 3 on the cd, although it's the end credits track in the movie, I'm not going to look up the time stamp but he talks about them in order, so near the beginning. His take is that he's not big into Ice Spice but she does good here but he finds the Aqua sample tacky, which, yes. I think Gerwig used impressive restraint in how little she used the Aqua track since obviously that's the first thing everyone thinks of. Zack Snyder would have played it like eight times through the movie.@@chosen2497
@103.5Heavener Dude you absolutely can. The reason stuff makes you cringe is because of social conditioning. Ask yourself why you cringe, self-reflect, look inwards. Cringe is a social response rooted in shame to protect ourselves from embarrassment. You've been conditioned to think whatever you cringe at is some sort of innate trait but you have complete control of that.
5:33 I love that you included this. I was nervous to watch this video because a lot of influencers are scabbing & I’m so glad you’re not. Thank you for supporting the actors/writers!
You know, if Melon wanted to go full Barbiecore and wear pink he could just be straight up naked but at least he tried more. I give it a MBDTF out of ten.
Pretty positive for a soundtrack. Much like last year's Minion's, I think of soundtracks are akin to a playlist and inevitably I just wanna pick out certain songs to keep rather than enjoy the whole thing like an album.
i'm probably the only one, but when i first listened to fifty fifty's 'barbie dreams', i felt like a kid again idk. it just had that youthful vibe to me. also charli's song was also amazing. the song makes me wanna buy a car and crash said car. in a good way yk.
i think the crazy town interpolation on butterfly is actually genius considering the point in the film in which it plays. not going to spoil, but it completely matches the vibes of the situation.
that song is an example of one of the songs of all time which mash 2 artists together with a sample and meh arrangement. Ice Spice is just, too flat in her tone and shows nearly zero passion in her voice. I know this is not the only meter to judge an artist but she is not for me, I can see no personality in her except her sexy body
To anyone that enjoyed Ryan Gosling’s performance. Check out Dead Man’s Bones. Based on Ryan’s love for The Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World, him and his friend sing and play everything on the album. I also recommend reading the Wikipedia page. Overall fun experience and fun story.
Anthony , thank you so much for listening to your community's recommendations and reviewing the soundtrack of Oppenheimer and giving it a perfect rating of 10/10 ! I enjoyed it very much. Barbie soundtrack next?
I get this feeling Melon is kind of just biased towards the Kid Laroi song because it's Kid Laroi. That one was probably my favorite from the entire soundtrack
I completely agree with the whole "mashing random artists together point". I disagree on your Gayle song point, but I understand that she and some others shouldn't have been on the soundtrack. yeah, it's good to be versatile, but I reckon the managers of the movie should've just it to pop, electronic, dance & RnB stuff. I don't really understand Ken's pop rock sound though, but I haven't watched the film, so I can't contextually criticise it.
Man made a tiktok about Ryan gosling’s push cover being the best musical moment but had the audacity to review the version of the album without it. Unbelievable.
Nice review. I'm Just Ken really was amazing, Ryan Gosling's performance was just stunning. Dance the Night Away was also very groovy and very apt for the film's dance sequence.
I agree especially for the Ryan Gosling part. It would be easy to feel in the totale styre but it's a real good balance between art and laugh, theatrical touch.
Gotta say, I really like what they did overall pulling in a bunch of different artists for this album. Dance The Night is absolutely my top pick. I agree that out of context, the back half doesn’t quite land. But it’s still good stuff overall. I’ve got it at 7/10. The movie overall was 10/10 tho ngl
massive missed opportunity not getting Ken Carson on the soundtrack, kinda like Yeat for the Minions movie but it would make even more sense this time for obvious reasons
I am always a little diverted from the black bar in the left side of your glasses. It appears when the greenscreen would be visible in the classes. An easy fix might be to add a white background to the album cover layer or even a picture of that exact wall.
What's funny about this review is that there's a scene in the movie where one of the Kens talks about Lou Reed to the Barbies and he talks exactly like you
I actually made an interpretation of Charli's song where the lyrics feel like Sasha's conscious of the ideals and standards Barbie prescribes girls. The fascism she speaks of. Not sure if that was intentional. Also this is different but I rewatched the chase scene and I think the alarm sound effects are the diegetic but add to the song unintentionally because they had to the drama feel to the song.
SPOILER(?) The thing about the Charli track is that they play the song “Speed Drive” during the chase around the office BEFORE the car chase ??? The whole song is about driving fast!!!
Speed Drive was honestly not a cut I messed with too much personally, it worked in the movie for sure but it felt a little too one note for Charli as a song on its own. Also bless you actually giving probs Sam Smith deserves for Man I Am I've been seeing way too many people discounting it because it's by Sam Smith but damn it fits so well in this new wheelhouse they've built for themself.

But what was he not allowed to do in a Movie theater???
Can't believe Ken from the Barbie Girl video is reviewing this soundtrack, awesome
My favourite part is when he said "come Barbie, let's go party"
Just Ken is a lyrical masterpiece. I usually hate Ice Spice, but somehow... Barbie World in the credits was acceptable
I liked it in the credits after watching the movie, but I wouldn't listen to it later. It reminded me of that 90s thing where rappers would rap about teenage mutant ninja turtles or whatever in the credits and it was always fun in the cinema, but like, no where else.
