Song review: Yungblud - I Was Made For Lovin’ You (from The Fall Guy)
YUNGBLUD's cover of the KISS classic "I Was Made For Lovin’ You" for the soundtrack of "The Fall Guy" has been described as a rework of the swaggering rock anthem into parts plaintive piano ballad, stomping pop-rock epic, and lighter-waving singalong². The cover has been well-received and is part of a soundtrack that includes various artists, with the full album released on May 3, 2024³. The original song by KISS recently gained attention again as it featured in the film "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" and now YUNGBLUD's version is adding to its legacy with this new cover².
YUNGBLUD has also been in the news for announcing his own festival, Bludfest, which is set to feature a variety of artists and celebrate the community's unity, individuality, and love². His cover of "I Was Made For Lovin’ You" seems to align with his vision of bringing people together through music. The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, is an action-comedy that follows a stuntman involved in a criminal plot, and YUNGBLUD's contribution to the soundtrack adds a modern twist to the film's musical backdrop².
