Interscope recording artists Brit & Alex are the multi-talented twins who have been tapped as the new "it" girls of pop music by producers Tricky Stewart (Rihanna's "Umbrella," Mary J Blige) and Dallas Austin (Gwen Stefani, Madonna). Their sound, a refreshing blend of slinky melodies over hip-pop tracks, is the perfect blend of New York-sass-meets-London-cool.
"Let It Go," their single and video from the forthcoming movie and soundtrack Step Up 2, The Streets, is an early taste of what Brit & Alex have to offer. I must say it's one of those super-addictive songs, so prepare to be humming it all day.
biography
You may recognize Brit & Alex as the faces of the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Campaign, but modeling was never their passion, it's always been all about the music for these 21 year-old twins.
At 17, Brit & Alex stopped modeling in order to focus solely on their music careers. During high school in London, the girls co-wrote over 60 songs with various young producers. After graduating, they moved to Atlanta once they learned that producer Dallas Austin (TLC, Pink, Madonna, Gwen Stefani) had listened to their music and wanted to work with them.
The girls have spent most of the last two years in Atlanta working mostly with Dallas and Tricky Stewart (Britney Spears, Blu Cantrell, Mya, Tyrese). The result has been a fresh, unique sound, which is as much a result of their distinctly different voices and personalities as it is of their various musical influences.
Not at all stereotypical, these sisters are two one-of-a-kinds.
