Swedish House Mafia ft Tinie Tempah

Swedish House Mafia ft Tinie Tempah
Swedish House Mafia is made up of 3 members: DJ’s and producers Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. In 2009, these guys were ranked in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ list at numbers #14, #20 and #25 respectively. Eric Prydz used to be part of the Swedish House Mafia, of ‘Call On Me’ fame, however he moved to London and so is no longer an active member.

You may remember their first song ‘One (Your Name)’ featuring Pharrell of N.E.R.D. This reached number 7 in the U.K charts and I loved that song so I was really hoping this would deliver. Along with the vocals of Tinie Tempah, famous for his killer songs ‘Pass Out’ which reached number 1 and ‘Frisky’ which reached number 2 in the UK chart the SHM’s next song called ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ was set to be a success.

It, without a doubt, is most definitely a holiday tune. Its one for summer, one to get you dancing and with Tinie Tempahs unique almost monotonous rapping style coupled with the beats and hooks that made ‘One’ so catchy it is set to be another hit.

The build ups to the musical chorus which, if you imagine being in a club is the part you know everyone will be on the dance floor moving and grooving, jumping up and down, screaming to, make it even more enjoyable and exciting to listen to. It, literally, got me dancing in my seat.

The lyrics throughout the song, leave a little to be desired, unlike the poetic styles of Taylor Swift a few weeks ago, instead we have:

‘I wake up in the morning with a mild case of amnesia
With a girl that like a girl like Lindsay Lohan, Queen Latifah’

But then again, the style of music is very Ibiza-orientated, its very much based on the lifestyle of partying, clubbing and sunning it up, lyrics revolving around fast cars, jewellery, designer clothes. However, saying this, we do know what to expect from Tinie Tempahs vocals and this is nothing short of what we would expect. I would never expect him to start singing about romance and love a la Taylor Swift or Jason Mraz. Tinie Tempah is in your face, he tells it how he sees it and if you don’t like it - Tough!

Well, Tinie Tempah and Swedish House Mafia, I must give you a round of applause. You have done it again and you have created a foot-stomping masterpiece!

Alls I need now is 2 tickets to Ibiza!!!
