Brick & Lace
Brick & Lace are a Jamaican-American dancehall/R&B (or reggae fusion) musical duo consisting of sisters Nyanda and Nailah Thorbourne. According to Billboard, their name reflects both the tough and soft sides of femininity.
Brick & Lace originally signed to the Geffen label as a trio with their third sister, Tasha.
Nailah and Nyanda continue to perform, but Tasha now works behind the scenes and co-writes songs for the group. Their first Geffen Records' single "Get That Clear" and their first album Love Is Wicked were both released in 2006.
Brick and Lace were signed by hip hop singer-songwriter Akon to his record label, Kon Live Distribution. Born to a Jamaican father and an African American mother, the duo has toured extensively throughout Africa, including shows in Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Their debut album, Love Is Wicked, had a limited release in various countries on 4 September 2007[citation needed]. The album included four singles, "Get That Clear (Hold Up)", "Never, Never", "Love Is Wicked" and "Take Me Back". "Love Is Wicked" was listed on six different charts, including the Sverigetopplistan Singles Top 60 (Sweden), and the SNEP Singles Top 100 (France). It reached No. 6 on the Official Finnish Charts Singles Top 20 . Its highest entry was No. 9 in the France Singles Top 100. "Never, Never" was a hit in both Finland and Kenya, where it reached No. 14 in 2008. Brick & Lace performed in Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape Tour on 24 May 2007, in Camden, New Jersey, filling in for Lady Sovereign, who failed to attend. In 2008 the sisters went on many tours to capitalise on the success of their first album, most notably in Europe and Africa. They also wrote new songs such as "Cry on Me" and "Bad to di Bone".[citation needed]
In 2009, Brick and Lace released their single "Bad to di Bone" which gained popularity in European and African countries. They also collaborated with French DJ/artist Junior Caldera. This new single was intentionally selected to appear on a new upcoming album, but instead was included on "Love is Wicked", which was re-released. In July 2009, the duo wrote another hit track called "Room Service", a summer hit released from the new Love is Wicked album.[citation needed]
In March 2010, they released four new songs, and the Brick and Lace Summer 2010 European Tour was announced straight after. A second single and music video promoting their second album was said to be “imminently soon” when the girls were interviewed in December 2009. They released "Bang Bang", "Ring The Alarm", and "Shackles" as buzz (promotional) singles for their upcoming album and withdrew "Club It Up" from internet markets - pegged for future plans. With two international platinum singles: "Love Is Wicked" and "Bad To Di Bone", the sisters completed the last of the Love Is Wicked International Tour era by producing a final tour for the African, European and Asian fans. Soon after May 2010, they revealed to African press that Nyanda was pregnant.[citation needed]
Starting off 2011, Brick and Lace toured in January and February internationally across Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa. Soon after Nyanda, the elder of the two, who was already in late pregnancy, went on a break for health concerns and maternity leave. Brick and Lace's younger sister Candace filled in for her on tour. Brick and Lace toured Europe yet again in April, May and June 2011. It has been revealed that Nyanda returned to Brick & Lace performances after giving birth. The girls worked with French DJs, Golden Crew and Martiniquean artist Lynnsha, on their next hit song called "In Love with the Music". On 19 April 2011, Brick and Lace released this new single alongside Golden Crew. The song had a French version featuring Lynnsha. The French version appeared on Golden Crews album, while the international US version was to be on Brick and Lace's second album.
