CELEBRITY PROFILE - APPLETON
For the Appleton sisters Natalie and Nicole, it has been business as usual since the demise of the popular female group All Saints two years ago. Rather than bask in the glory and success of the former group, Natalie and Nicole regrouped to simply become the band APPLETON. Their new album is due for release in 2003 and will feature many songs penned by the sisters themselves. These days, the talented duo refer to their days in the All Saints as a "stepping stone" and are looking forward to unleashing their new sound on the rest of the world.
To mark the release of the debut Appleton single "Fantasy", we profile both Natalie and Nicole in this month's GIRL.
