Brick N Lace Is Bad To The Bone

To the ladies of Brick&Lace, their name represents the duality and complexity of the everywoman. “Sometimes you want to wear a cap and sneakers and look grimy,” Nyanda tells. “And sometimes you want to wear your sexy dress and heels and look cute.” Nailah puts it all in perspective: “People always ask: ‘Who is Brick&Lace?’

Indeed, who they are is evident in their moniker: “Our mother came up with the name ‘Lace’ and we immediately liked it,” explains the incisively passionate Nyanda. “But we still felt that there was an edge missing, so I came up with ‘Brick.’ It has stuck with us ever since and has evolved with us.”

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 emitting their trademark eclectic sound. “We are a hybrid,” affirms Nailah in her effortlessly sexy Jamaican accent. “It’s not fabricated at all; it’s who we are.”

Like the best cooperative artists, each sister has her specialized lane.

Nyanda unique voice and tone stylizes the way she spits her edgy lyrics consistently pushing the envelope of creativity. Nailah on the other hand exudes her versatility with a more R&B slant. Both have a lot of presence and whatever emotion is needed to get out of a record, they get it done.

This versatility jives with the arsenal of the producers assembled for Wicked: most notably AKON, WILL.I.AM, RON FAIR, COOL & DRE, and Tony “CD” Kelly.

Other household names recognize this artistry; the sisters Thorbourne have penned hits for Janet Jackson, Paris Hilton and The Pussy Cat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger.

Having cut their teeth singing backup for Roberta Flack, Lauryn Hill and family friend Marcia Griffiths, The ladies of Brick&Lace are far from an overnight sensation.
Nyanda and Nailah recorded their first song back in Jamaica with dancehall super-producer, Tony Kelly They also went on to track several songs with heavyweight deejays, one of which includes a street smash with Bounty Killer.

Brick&Lace, now armed with the sterling debut single “Never Never” are locked and loaded and ever ready to prove their weight with a fresh new single.
