All Saints Comeback

The All Saints are reported to be staging a comeback. The band, made up of Nicole and Natalie Appleton, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis, broke up five years ago after two albums and a greatest hits collection. The first single entitled "Rock Steady", is due for release on November 6th, followed by the album "Studio 1" released on November 20th.

Viewed as the anti-Spice Girls, a sort of early Sugababes, the All Saints were the '90s "respectable" UK girl group. They were quite successful, scoring two massive #1 hits: "Never Ever," which was released in 1997, hit #1 early in 1998, and won the Brit Award for best single that year, and "Pure Shores" in 2000, which was the second-biggest seller that year. Other notable hits included their remake of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge," (#1 in '98), the downbeat "Black Coffee" (#1 in '00), "Bootie Call" (#1 in '98), and "I Know Where It's At," the group's first single.
