Nailah on Nyanda: "Her voice, tone and stylizing and the way she spits her lyrics is edgy. Like the best cooperative artists, each sister has her specialized lane. "It was a very collaborative effort that was fun and exciting to record all the way." "The track's so grimy that the lyrics and the arrangement just came to us," Nailah recalls enthusiastically. On their agile down-bottom introductory single " Never," over Akon's seething sonic brew, Brick & Lace caution wayward suitors to behave themselves if they want a chance with the sisters. Nailah puts it all in perspective: "People always ask: 'Who is Brick & Lace?' And we always tell them it depends on the day!" This unpredictability and uncompromising expressiveness makes Love Is Wicked (which features the production prowess of Akon, Raphael Saadiq, Will.I.Am, among others) an aural delight. "And sometimes you want to wear your sexy dress and heels and look cute. "Sometimes you want to wear a cap and sneakers and look grimy," Nyanda tells. "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." To the ladies of Brick & Lace, their name represents the duality and complexity of the everywoman. "It's not fabricated at all it's who we are." 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. "We are a hybrid," affirms Nailah in her effortlessly sexy West-Indian lilt. 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. The amalgamated sound that makes up their 180/Geffen debut, Love Is Wicked, is unique, though also at once very familiar.
