"Blow My Mind" (UK bonus track) 3:48 Following the split of All Saints in 2001, Nicole and Natalie Appleton wasted no time setting themselves up as a sisterly duo and pretty much picking up where the bigger group left off. Debut single Fantasy entered at no.2 in September 2002 with a very Indie sound. It didn’t stick around too long and finished the year as the 154th best selling single which I believe was quite below any other single with the same peak that year. Don’t Worry followed and reached a respectable 5 in early 2003 an the album peaked at no.9 following its release. Third single Everything Eventually went in at a limp 38 and the girls were dropped from their label. I’ve never listened to an All Saints album before so until today I was familiar only with the singles but I can say this is a very impressive album. I’m not actually sure why something as dull as Don’t Worry was chosen as single 2 when Hallelujah and MWA amongst others were available. Very mature sounding with clever lyrics, it’s just a taste of what I think these girls were capable of and it’s a shame they never got to take the Appleton project further especially seeing how watered down the 2006 All Saints comeback appeared.

April 24, 20223 yr It's such a lovely solid album! I love all the tracks here, nothing I would skip when listening to. Favourites are "Supernaturally" and "5 AM"
April 24, 20223 yr I listened to it again recently and it is such a solid album Such a shame they never made a follow up
April 25, 20223 yr This is such a good album & incredibly underrated - shame the press wouldn't give them a chance as this is a solid body of work. The first 2 singles 'Fantasy' & 'Don't Worry' were great choices to showcase their sound, the first a catchy rocky number, while the other is slower more warm feeling track with gentle strings. 'Everything Eventually' should have stayed on the album as a decent album track. 'All Grown Up' would have been a better 3rd single & may have given them a 3rd hit. Other highlights 'Hallelujah', 'Ring-A-Ding-Ding', 'Supernaturally', '5am' & 'Waiting 4 Your Love'.
