Pop fans, it’s time to celebrate. After a 23-year hiatus as a duo, Nicole and Natalie Appleton are officially back. Their brand-new single, ‘Falling Into You’, drops today, and it’s every bit the sophisticated pop we’ve been craving.
The track feels like a spiritual successor to their 2003 hit ‘Don’t Worry’ — fluid, timeless, and effortlessly cool. To keep the magic authentic, the sisters reunited with Gareth Young (the producer behind their smash ‘Fantasy’) and his songwriting partner Bnann.
“This song just flowed out of us because it’s very much the story of us,” says Nicole.
The Journey Back
While we last saw the sisters touring with All Saints nearly five years ago, the spark for this duo revival came from a surprising source: their kids. Natalie reveals that it was Gene and Ace who suggested the sisters team up again.
The momentum started building in 2023 with the successful reissue of their gold-certified debut album, Everything’s Eventual. Now, with no expectations other than “the love of it,” the Appletons are ready to reclaim their spot in the charts.
Where to See Them
If the single isn’t enough, mark your calendars for these upcoming performances:
- Feb 19: BBC Radio 2’s Piano Rooms with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
- May: A high-energy set at the iconic Mighty Hoopla festival.
Expect the hits, the new single, and according to Nicole, a “fun cover or two.”
