The Jamaica Observer composed a list of Jamaican artists of which they thought did some amazing things in 2007. Brick & Lace came in at #2, just short of Junior Reid. Check out what they had to say about Nyanda & Nailah.

2. Brick & Lace - They’ve been creating waves in music for some time now. At 14, Brick & Lace opened for Roberta Flack at her concert, and in time they went mainstream with Done It To Me. For some reason, they fell off our radar, leaving us with the taste of their hit on the Swatch riddim - but in 2007, Brick & Lace was having none of it. They gave us hits like Never Never and Love Is Wicked, and in short order catapulted themselves back to the fore of our musical diet.

They came in at the stroke of midnight, sang a few songs, did some name dropping and concluded their act before it was 12.30a.m. But most revellers seemed to have enjoyed Brick and Lace’s concert anyway

The idea of a Brick & Lace end of year concert was ridiculed by sceptics who pointed out all so obviously that the duo had one hit to their name and it was better to just watch the video on TV.

But Brick & Lace aka Nyanda and Nailah did not have just one song to their name. They had several. Even then, the critics were right. You would have gotten your money’s worth buying pirated music videos of the duo than watch them perform live.

By the time the duo got on stage, the crowd had already been worked up by the ever present curtain raisers who gave the local music enthusiasts value for their Shs25,000 or Shs50,000 for the VIP ticket, because really there was not much to say about Brick & Lace’s 25 minute performance that lasted slightly longer than the fireworks display.

The show that was held at Africana was slated to begin at 6p.m. but by 11p.m., people were still clamouring to get in at the gate. There was generally a large turn up of mostly teenagers and young people on holiday.

I was browsing Toronto-lime.com, a website for new music and pictures circulating the caribbean, today and noticed a couple of the charts they had. I got to the reggae and saw that our very own Brick and Lace came in at number 4 this week. Check out the list :

2.Mr. Vegas feat. Jovi Rockwell- U Gonna Need Me

3.Demarco- Fallen Soldiers

4.Brick and Lace- Love is Wicked

5.Shaggy feat. Rik Roc and Tony Gold- Bonafide Girl

6.Taurus Riley- She’s Royal

7.Busy Signal- Nah Guh Jail Again

8.Alicia Keys feat. Junior Reid- No One Remix

9.Jah Cure- Sticky

10.Damien Jr Gong Marley- One Loaf of Bread

BRICK & Lace lived up to their hype, but disappointed some fans who had expected more than an hour’s performance from the Jamaican twin sisters.

The utl and Club Beer-sponsored show was held at Hotel Africana on Monday night. At 12:03am, the Thorbourne sisters (Nyanda and Nailah) stepped on stage just as fireworks were being displayed. They were welcomed by cheers, although their performance left many asking for more because they did not gyrate like they do in their music videos.

Trying to blend with Africa, they sang Nigerian star, 2 Face Idibia’s African Queen, Akon’s Lonely and Sean Kingston’s Suicidal.

After serenading revellers, most of them teenagers, with Never Never, Repent, the crowd’s favourite Love is Wicked and four other songs that the crowd did not know, Brick ‘n’ Lace left the stage.

Some fans could not believe the show was over, but Henry Tigan, who was scheduled to perform much earlier, came on stage and consoled the fans with two songs.
