'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.
Part urban singers and part urbane songstresses, sibling duo Brick & Lace are genre-busters who staunchly defy the 30-second pitch.
