What do queer folk-pop duo Indigo Girls and peak-'90s dad rock band Matchbox Twenty have in common? Well, they both have hit singles that would later become the parallel anthems for Margot Robbie's Barbie and Ryan Gosling's Ken – and the songs are cleverly juxtaposed in Greta Gerwig's summer blockbuster, highlighting the stark contrast between what men and women want.
There's only one song that plays on the radio in Barbie Land, and it's 'Closer to Fine' by Indigo Girls. The duo, made up of Amy Ray and Emily Sailers, are known for their activism in the queer community, and for pumping out catchy, feminist anthems. It's the opening track off their Grammy-winning self-titled album, and it's the perfect song for Barbie and her journey.
