Nicole and Natalie Appleton Reflect: "She was my home away from home during the craziness of All Saints"
Sisters and accomplished singers Natalie and Nicole Appleton open up about their shared path, from their early days in west London to achieving global fame in the 90s, and their current re-emergence as a musical duo. Canadian-born, the Appleton sisters became renowned figures as integral members of the celebrated group All Saints. Their formative years were split between Ontario, London, and New York before they officially joined the band in 1996 alongside Shaznay Lewis and Melanie Blatt.
All Saints quickly soared to prominence following the release of their self-titled debut album in 1997. This success was amplified by a string of hugely popular hits, including the chart-topping singles "Never Ever" and "Pure Shores." The group, however, decided to part ways in 2001. Following this, the sisters embarked on their own musical project as Appleton, releasing their debut material in 2002. They have since rejoined All Saints for three subsequent albums. Currently, the Appleton duo has released their brand-new single, "Falling Into You."
