Doncaster artist Yungblud has covered the iconic KISS hit ‘I was Made For Loving You’ for the soundtrack of Ryan Gosling’s action-comedy, The Fall Guy. Yungblud’s version of the song starts off stripped back before blossoming into a rockier song closer to the original 1979 track. The cover even garnered praise from the band’s Paul Stanley, who commented on Yungblud’s Instagram by saying “A REALLY terrific new version and take on our classic. @yungblud NAILS it!!”
The Fall Guy is a hit, earning a four-star review from NME, where its reviewers describe it as “a delight from start to finish, thanks to a sparkling script, thrilling action sequences and to-die-for comic chemistry between the two leads.” In addition to his work on the soundtrack, Yungblud will be taking over Milton Keynes Bowl this summer with a stacked line-up, including recent collaborator Lil Yachty, as well as Soft Play, Nessa Barrett, The Damned, Lola Young, Jazmin Bean, and many more to be announced. When asked what it meant to be headlining this festival in the footsteps of David Bowie, Queen, Green Day, and Linkin Park, Yungblud said, “Wow! What the fuck?”
Yungblud’s Instagram post celebrated the release of The Fall Guy, stating “celebratin. fall guy is out now! go see it. it’s so sick makin music for films would luv to be in them one day,” followed with a nod to how attractive he finds Ryan Gosling in real life.
BludFest is Yungblud’s festival, and he describes it as a way of pushing boundaries and poking the bear. Yungblud explains “We’re a community, we’re getting bigger, we’re gonna do it anyway!” in response to critics who do not take Generation Z seriously
