Earlier this week, the nominations for the 2024 Golden Globe awards were released. The Barbie soundtrack, produced by Mark Ronson, dominated the Best Original Song category, receiving three out of the six nominations. Dua Lipa and her team, including Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, and Caroline Ailin, were among the nominees for their disco-inspired song “Dance the Night.”
As I woke up this morning, I received the exciting news of being nominated for my first-ever Golden Globe award. I am beyond thankful for this opportunity! Composing a song for a movie was an unforgettable experience for me. It was like working on a massive puzzle with Mark, Andrew, and Caroline as we tried to piece together the perfect soundtrack for Barbie’s “best day ever” moment in the film. The process was unlike anything I’ve ever done before, and it made me appreciate the art of creating music even more.
In the movie, the song plays just before Barbie’s mental state deteriorates. She and her toy companions enjoy a night of dancing, but soon feelings of existential dread set in. The track’s upbeat rhythm, typical of Dua Lipa’s style, makes it a perfect choice to help alleviate concerns.
Lipa has received her first Golden Globe nomination, while Ronson has earned two nominations in the Best Original Song category, including “Dance the Night” and “I’m Just Ken,” a sentimental ballad sung by Ryan Gosling in Barbie.
Lipa is all set to have a remarkable 2024, as she has been nominated for the Best Song Written for Visual Media and the Song of the Year for “Dance the Night” at next year’s Grammys. We speculate that she will receive numerous nominations in the coming year at various ceremonies that focus on both music and film.
Lipa has exciting news for her fans as she plans to release her third studio album next year. Although not much information has been revealed about the project, rumors suggest that a collaboration with Kevin Parker from Tame Impala may be in the works. Her followers can’t wait for what’s in store from the talented artist in the coming months.
