HOT OR NOT: BRICK & LACE
Thursday, February 15, 2007
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.”
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!”

its amazing how many ppl talk smack widout knowing the artists…maybe they should have stayed in JA instead of trying 2 comform to shitty american expectations and watering down their music to crap R&B…..akon is the problem the gurls were better with Jamaican producers

I love Brick & Lace from long time- but not checkin’ for this track AT ALL! Original Reggae/dancehall diva Nadine Sutherland just come out wid a new album an she workin it without lookin like she try too hard. Nadine own is much more my style- they could learn from a veteran like her

ALL THOSE IDIOTS LIKE NO.S 55, 56, 57, 46 AND ALL THE REST WHO R HATING ON BRICK AND LACE -Y’ALL R SO FULL OF IT. YOU WANNA CRITICIZE THEM FOR BEING LIKE OTHER ARTIST WHO Y’ALL CLAIM HAVE NO TALENT BUT IT’S FUNNY HOW U R THE ONES WHO BUY THE SHIT THAT THEY PRODUCE-WHICH IS WHY OTHERS R FORCED TO PUT OUT CRAP. Y’ALL DON’T APPRECIATE TRUE ART. IF SOME THING IS NOT APPRECIATED WHAT’S THE POINT OF WORKING ON IT!!!. HOW ORIGINAL IS 50 CENT( SINGING GANTSA TUNES) , USHER( DANCING AND SINGING ABOUT LOVE) , DIDDY, BEYONCE AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM??
EVERYBODY PATTERNS THEIR STYLE AFTER SOMEONE WHO THEY CONSIDERED GREAT OR AT LEAST GOOD ENOUGH. HAVE Y’ALL EVER HEARD BRICK AND LACE’S SONG-”LOVE IS WICKED”? THAT IS TRULY A HIT CUZ IT WREAKS OF ORIGINALITY AND IT DEFINATELY HAS A GOOD VIBE.
NO. 68 HAD THE GAUL TO CALL THEM ” NON-SINGING BITCHES” ? HOW LOW!!! HOW RIDICULOUS . I WILL AGREEE THAT ” NEVER NEVER” MAY NOT ALLOW THEM TO DISPLAY ANY TRUE VOCAL ABILITY. BUT OTHER TRACKS ON THEIR ABLUM DO AND U ALL SHOULD TAKE TIME OUT AND LISTEN BEFORE U SHOOT SHIT FROM THAT USELESS HOLE IN UR FACES CALLED MOUTHS. LET’S STOP THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT OTHERS AND TRY TO FIND POSITIVE WAYS TO UPLIFT THEM. I MEAN, HAS PUTTING PPL DOWN BECOME PART OF OUR CULTURE? IF SO WAY, HOW SAD!!!

Akon is just being smart …He is just want the american audience to get familiar with them. The other song GET THAT CLEAR (produced by Akon) is pretty good too…sounds very dancehall-ish. How tha fuck is he the problem? Kon did a great job by taking them on tour with him. You think any other artists would cut their performances short just to let Brick & Lace shine? Just because He is selling more than your favorite artist doesnt mean you have to hate everyone he works with….HATERS
