HOT OR NOT: BRICK & LACE

Thursday, February 15, 2007

bricklace.JPG

For the second edition of Hot or Not we have Akon’s new group, Brick and Lace. Nyanda and Nailah Thorbourne (who happen to be sisters) rep Jamaica and dub their music “sexy r&b meets dancehall.”

Check out their debut single, “Never, Never” and tell us whether you think it’s hot or not.
Brick & Lace - “Never Never” [LISTEN]

MORE ON THE GROUP

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– 26-year-old Nyanda and 24-year-old Nailah Thorbourne couldn’t help but be trans-eclectic. “We are a hybrid,” affirms Nailah in her effortlessly sexy West-Indian lilt. “It’s not fabricated at all; it’s who we are.”

WHY BRICK & LACE?

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?’ And we always tell them it depends on the day!”

They are cute girls. But, the song is boring and completely recycled. The first thing they say is bring your A-game. They need to take their own advice.

They’re not the best …they’ve been around for quite a while ..and this song is deff. not their best …pass. The R&B scene needs something else right now and it’s not them. I bet the song is a hit int he clubs though …sorta…

NOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SOME FUNKY SHIT. JAMACIANS AND MEXICANS AND ALL THE REST OF THE PEOPLE THINK JUST IF THEY HAVE A NICE BEAT, PEOPLE ARE GONNA LIKE THERE SONGS. WELL NOT WHEN YOU HAVE THESE TWO TERRIBLE VOICES SINGING IN THEM. IT’S SO PLAYED ALREADY BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY SONG THATS OUT RIGHT NOW. ALL THESE SONGS THINK IF IT’S CATCHY, OR HAS A ‘WEIRD’ TITLE PEOPLE ARE GONNA LOVE IT.

STUPID SONGS (THAT SOUND ALL THE SAME)

Cassie - Me & U
Shawnna - I Was Gettin’ Some Head
Mims - This Is Why Im Hot
…and so many more.

I know these girls and they will be fine. Very respectful, and spend a lot of time in the studios, in MIA and ATL working on their stuff. They have backed up many famous, singers such as MARCIA GRIFFITHS (from BOB MARLEY’S group I-Threes) and LAUREN HILL to name a few. I think if the girls don’t sell out and be true to their west indian culture, they will be alright. No we don’t need another NINA SKY, CIARA, or BEYONCE….GOOD LUCK GURLS…OUR OF MANY ONE PEOPLE!!!

Brick and Lace is fiyah!!! Dis song might not be dancehall but they have other songs like Tonight, Get that clear and others that are more dancehall. I like this song. They did a song with Obie Trice called Jamaican Girl. Dis song sell off!!

Nothing too distinctive. Sounds like some old 3LW crap. Might not go platinum, or gold…but definitely double lead.

JUNIOR IN JAMAICA

Thursday, February 15, 2007 /

I like the song. I think they can do better though. Good to see them finally out there. I just hope Tami Chynn (who I like more, gets out there more too!).

@79 Brian what the f*ck you talking bout? U said:

“JAMACIANS AND MEXICANS AND ALL THE REST OF THE PEOPLE THINK JUST IF THEY HAVE A NICE BEAT, PEOPLE ARE GONNA LIKE THERE SONGS. WELL NOT WHEN YOU HAVE THESE TWO TERRIBLE VOICES SINGING IN THEM.”

I don’t see why you bother pointing out JAMAICANS and Mexicans first as if we always be like that. Quit the hating.
Let everyone try their thing. Beyonce and most others aint been original for a long time. Then you talk about monotony?

P.S. Majority of songs with nice beats usually catch most people. Not everyone has the time to analyze music. People just want to hear something good and be able to vibe with it.

P.P.S. We take all this time beatin’ down people’s effort we losing sight. Music is not defined as Erykah Badu, John Legend, Teedra Moses or whoever else! Music is dynamic and hence genres, so quit hating on the girls for doing what THEY LIKE.

heartBREAKER

Friday, February 16, 2007 /

NO, it’s a big NOT. They are pretty girls but they need to come with something better because this sounds so typical. The lyrics are blah it sounds like washed up garbage. I hope they have something better than this to bring to the table than this, not feeling it at all.

I am jamaican. Brick & Lace have been singing professionally for at least a decade. There is no question that they can sing. Jamaicans don’t front, if u suck no matter how pretty you are you will get booed or even bottled. We don’t mess around with music down here.

Hmmm, the only thing good about this song is the beat. And what kind of name is Brick and Lace? I don’t think the song will go very far, IMO.

“sexy r&b meets dancehall.”

…CANT HEAR IT!

This song is boring.

PLEASE! Akon aint discovered nobody!…these girls have been singing and writing music for other artists for well over 10 years…they used to be a trio…but that sister left to start a family. Brick and Lace is 100% yardie! …they have been around even before Nina Sky knew there was gonna be a Nina sky…so dont get it twisted.

On that note i like their music, this track doesn’t do them much justice, they have mad talent and im glad to see them pushing their music on the international level.
