Brick & Lace are Jamaican-American dancehall/R&B (or reggae fusion) musical duo consisting of sisters Nyanda and Nailah Thorbourne.[1] [2] According to Billboard, their name reflects 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 while Tasha 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 was signed by hip hop singer-songwriter Akon to his record label, Kon Live Distribution. They were born to a Jamaican father and an African American mother. The duo has toured internationally, including Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Their debut album, Love Is Wicked, had a limited release in various countries on 4 September 2007. The album spawned 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, the Sweden Singles Top 60, and France's SNEP Singles Top 100. It reached number 6 in Finland. Its highest entry was number 9 in the France Singles Top 100. "Never, Never" was a hit in Finland, performing also well in 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 after-effects of their first album hit, and the sisters went busily on many tours for the year, most notably in Europe and Africa by popular demand, and also produced a few new songs such as "Cry on Me" and "Bad to di Bone". In the year 2009, Brick and Lace released their single called "Bad to di Bone" which became a well-known track in European and African countries. A French collaboration was even presented hence popularity. This new single was intentionally pinned out to appear on a new upcoming album, but instead was re-based on "Love is Wicked", which was re-released for a second shot at fame and success. In July 2009, the duo penned another hit track called "Room Service", a summer hit released from the new Love is Wicked album. Starting the year 2010 by releasing four new songs in March, the Brick and Lace Summer 2010 European Tour was soon announced straight after. An upcoming second single and music video to promote 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 singles for their upcoming album and withdrew "Club It Up" from internet markets for future plans. Finally settled with the release of their debut album, with two international platinum singles: "Love Is Wicked" and "Bad To Di Bone", the sisters started the last of the Love Is Wicked International Tour era by producing a final tour for the African, European and Asian fans globally.
