Multi-award winning artists Mau y Ricky return with new stunning single ‘Miami’
With their highly anticipated new single, the Venezuelan superstars are ready to take Miami’s heat to every corner of the world and provide a preview of what’s to come from the renowned duo for the rest of the year. “Miami” is available on all digital streaming platforms as of today.
The track has been making waves on the internet over the past week, garnering over 20M impressions across TikTok and Instagram videos alone, showcasing the beauty of the track as well as reactions to the jaw dropping video from their parents, Ricardo and Marlene Montaner, and friends J Balvin, Camilo, Manuel & Julian Turizo, Danna Paola, Ale Hoyer and Lola Indigo.
“Miami” is a song that stays true to the sound with which Mau & Ricky have managed to consolidate themselves in the Latin music industry, but this time the duo adds their own twist with a bit of mischief and fun. The song was produced by JonTheProducer, Andry Kiddos and Ricky Montaner, and composed by Mau & Ricky themselves.
Mau y Ricky share: “‘Miami’ is a song that talks about when you meet someone you feel you’ve been waiting for your whole life. When you realize that your life, before that person, had no meaning because all the meaning was to find her. It’s really a very personal song and for that reason, we wanted to show a more casual approach in the music video parodying, in a nice way, the frivolous image that people often have of this city.”
The single is accompanied by a humorous music video, filmed in the city of Miami and directed by Santi Lafee, in which Mau & Ricky embody the typical Miami persona. Throughout the different scenes, we see the artists get into character as a pair of pretentious friends roaming the streets of Miami in extravagant cars, highlighting iconic places of the city in the different shots and enjoying the typical Venezuelan gastronomy at the renowned restaurant in the city, El Arepazo, along with their friend Victor Drija. In other scenes, we see the artists out for a ride on their luxurious yacht enjoying the sun in the port of Miami accompanied by a pair of exotic dancers friends, and at night they go out to play a good game of soccer in the Brickell fields with their friends Pucho and Tucutu, among others.
Their talent as singer-songwriters has been proven by achieving two nominations for the prestigious Latin GRAMMYs in the Best New Artist category in 2017 and Record of the Year in 2021 among multiple other distinctions. Without going any further, their latest release, “Llorar y Llorar”, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplayand Latin Pop charts in the United States and also in Mexico, is up for Perfect Mix of the Year at the upcoming Premio Lo Nuestro awards to be held on February 23rd in Miami.
The most recent success of the reality show “Los Montaner” throughout the region, becoming the second most watched show worldwide on the Disney+ platform since its premiere, further strengthens the charisma of the two brothers, who show their most personal side along with their entire family by sharing intimate moments with them all. In many of the scenes, you can experience first-hand the love story that is later reflected in the lyrics of the song “Miami” that they are presenting today.
To date, Mau & Ricky have accumulated more than 3.3 billion combined streams and have surpassed more than 2.6 billion views on YouTube. They are currently working on new music that is expected to be released in 2023.
