Appleton was a Canadian musical duo composed of sisters Natalie and Nicole Appleton. The sisters are better known as members of the girl group All Saints.[1]

Career

[edit]

In 2002, after All Saints disbanded, Natalie and Nicole formed the duo Appleton and signed with Polydor.[2] In September 2002, they released their first single "Fantasy", written with Andy Hayman and Gareth Young,[3] which reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.[4] Their autobiography, Together, came out in October 2002.[5] The sisters releases stated that director David Slade announced he would direct the autobiographical book into a film, but that has yet to happen. In 2003, they had two more hits with "Don't Worry" and "Everything Eventually" and the album, Everything's Eventual which went silver in the UK.[6]

In 2004 they left Polydor and signed with Concept Music. Their second album was cancelled after All Saints' return in 2006.
