OLDIES SUNDAY: Brick & Lace – Love Is Wicked (2007)


For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we go back to a time when Trucker Hats were back in style, Von Dutch was a brand people were familiar with, Jamaica was trending Internationally thanks to a few great Jamaican Artists, and this Jamaican girl group were on the verge of blowing up overseas. That girl group originally consisted of sisters Nailah, Nyanda, and Tasha Thorbourne, but was later reduced to just Nailah and Nyanda, and they were called, “Brick & Lace“! Today, we check out “Love Is Wicked“.

Produced by Steven “Lenky” Marsden on the “Diwali Riddim and released in 2007, Brick & Lace spoke about a love that despite being everything they wanted and they’d give their all for it, that person that gave the love never belonged to them, and has resulted in hurt. The song’s upbeat production made it a danceable one, and the hook was very catchy. The deliveries on “Love Is Wicked” stood out thanks to Nailah’s singing and Nyanda’s singjaying, and it quickly became a hit in Jamaica, and parts of the world.

“Love Is Wicked” successfully crossed over to the International market, and was featured in the soundtrack to “Bratz: The Movie“, got featured on “Jimmy Kimmel Live“, was included in the soundtrack for the “Sims 2” video game, and has enjoyed a number of remixes. Brick & Lace capitalized off the success of “Love Is Wicked” with a debut album of the same name which was released in 2007.

Since the release of “Love Is Wicked”, Brick & Lace went on to release a few more singles while being signed to Akon’s Kon Live label, formed a songwriting team with sisters Tasha and Candace called Bloodline, launched solo careers (Nailah goes by “Nyla” while Nyanda used her name), and the duo is currently enjoying TikTok love as “Love Is Wicked” has been gaining viral success since 2021, and grew even more thanks to TikToker Cynesse. Will the Thorbourne sisters return to the scene as a duo? Who knows, but “Love Is Wicked” remains a classic.

Thank You Brick & Lace For This Classic!

Love Has @JPerryOfficial Grabbing A “Tylenol” On New Single.


Haitian Recording Artist J. Perry hits the ground running with new music. This year alone saw him liberate a few singles and videos, but he’s gearing up to keep his fanbase entertained for the rest of the year. For the Summer, he gives us the visual for the single, “Tylenol“.

Directed by Xtreme Arts, J. Perry finds himself in Jamaica with friends including “Tylenol” Producer Izy Beats. The video finds them conversing when Perry is taken aback by a beautiful Woman, and the video transitions into him having moments with her in various parts of the Island. “Tylenol” is a track that speaks on the stress you experience when you’re constantly thinking about someone you love. After a dose of this track, lots of Tylenol will be issued out to many couples. It’s all good though, and J. Perry may have found himself another hit with the upbeat Izy Beats production, and melodic delivery. If this is your first time hearing J. Perry, you’re in for some good times.

Ishawna x Ed Sheeran "Brace It" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #UK #IShawna #EdSheeran #Music #13thStreetPromotions #BraceIt #Caribbean

.@Ishawna & @EdSheeran Get To “Brace It” On Official Collaboration!


This one has been in talks for quite some time. Ever since Dancehall Artist Ishawna hijacked Recording Artist Ed Sheeran’sShape Of You” for her “Equal Rights” single in 2017, we were on the lookout for a co-sign and possible collaboration between the two. It took a while, but Ed Sheeran acknowledged Ishawna’s track during a Radio Interview, and shared that he reached out to the Dancehall Artist. After all that time, we finally get a collaboration, and it’s called, “Brace It“!

Produced by Skatta Burrell, Ishawna, and Don Corleon/Don Corleonie, “Brace It” mixes Pop and Dancehall from two different Artists from two very different worlds. It’s like the Jamaican girl bringing her white boyfriend to the Island to get familiar with the music, but in song form. Ed Sheeran is encouraged by Ishawna to “wine pon mi good up“, and the two have fun on the track. Pretty interesting to hear Ed speak a lil Patois (“I nah go diss yuh never”), but overall we expect this track to make its rounds.

What do you think of “Brace It”? Check out the track below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.
