Brick & Lace – Never Never
Brick & Lace – Love is Wicked
BIO
Part urban singers and part urbane songstresses, sibling duo Brick&Lace are genre-busters who staunchly defy the 30-second pitch. The amalgamated sound that makes up their Kon Live/180 Ent./Geffen debut, Love Is Wicked (the first release on Akon's own label, Kon Live), is unique, though also at once very familiar.
Born to a Jamaican father and an American mother and raised predominantly in Kingston, Jamaica --on an opulent musical diet of reggae, R&B, hip hop, pop and country -- Nyanda and Nailah Thorbourne couldn’t help but be trans-eclectic.
This unpredictability and uncompromising expressiveness makes Love Is Wicked an aural delight. On their agile down-bottom introductory single “Never Never,” over Akon’s seething sonic brew, Brick & Lace caution wayward suitors to behave themselves if they want a chance with the sisters. This versatility jives with the arsenal of the producers assembled for Love Is Wicked: most notably AKON, WILL.I.AM, RON FAIR, COOL & DRE, and Tony “CD” Kelly.
Akon who signed Brick&Lace to be the first group released on his label (Kon Live Records) is behind the production of “Never Never” – Brick&Lace’s first single, and “Boyfriend” Brick&Lace’s new hit single. Cool & Dre helmed “Mr. Officer” where roots-reggae-meets-Wu-Tang-like programming underscores the sisters’ soulful pleading.Brick&Lace’s dynamic as artists and their earnest appeal stems from their songwriting savvy; the sisters Brick&Lace have penned hits for Janet Jackson, Paris Hilton and The Pussy Cat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger.
Their singing past has got them cutting their teeth singing backup for Roberta Flack, Lauryn Hill and family friend Marcia Griffiths, and after they went on to record their first song back in Jamaica with dancehall super-producer, Tony Kelly (who actually reunites with Brick&Lace on “Push It”—a racy dancehall track generously steeped in Duran Duranisms). They also went on to track several songs with heavyweight deejays, one of which includes a street smash with Bounty Killer.
After performances everyone wanted a piece of Brick&Lace. J Records beckoned, as did Universal/Motown and Kon Live/Geffen.
Good things do indeed come to those who toil. Brick&Lace, now armed with a sterling debut album, are locked and loaded and ever ready to capture the ears and hearts of those who appreciate the best in life: very good music. “I truly feel like it’s our time,” Nyanda says with a modest confidence while Nailah affirmatively nods.
