Miami 2 Ibiza


"Miami 2 Ibiza" is a song by Swedish house music group Swedish House Mafia and English rapper Tinie Tempah. It was released as the second and final single from the group's debut studio album and compilation, Until One by Virgin Records on October 4, 2010. The song is also included on Tempah's debut album Disc-Overy and later on the group's second studio/compilation album, Until Now. In January 2011, the single was certified Gold in Australia.

Critical reception

Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a somewhat positive review stating:
"Urban British pop and commercial European dance are now such comfortable bedfellows that this collaboration between a trio of Scando knob-twiddling types and the best thing to come out of Plumstead since Shampoo barely raises a brow. Up next: Basshunter ft. Ms Dynamite? However, just because the two genres are comfortable bedfellows doesn't mean the earth moves every time they do the dirty. Tinie Tempah steers 'Miami 2 Ibiza' towards its big whooshy bridge and trancey arms-in-the-air chorus with his customary lyrical flair, but the result still feels like the musical equivalent of the Cam 'n' Cleggy coalition. You couldn't accuse it of being ineffective, but you wouldn't say it works entirely seamlessly either.

Music video

The music video was directed by Christian Larson and was uploaded to YouTube on October 1, 2010. The video shows a videotape being made of a couple's vacation, with some shots of Tinie Tempah and the Swedish House Mafia performing. The video was shot chronologically and the shoot started in Miami. Larson said: "The video is also meant to depict a kind of powerful independent woman, someone who takes from life what they want and does what they want." It has received over 88 million hits on YouTube. Most of the video is set on one woman and follows her around with a video camera on a journey from Miami in Florida to Ibiza in Spain.
