Appleton have released their first new single in 23 years, ‘Falling Into You’

Appleton are marking their return with the release of ‘Falling Into You’, their first new single in 23 years.

The duo – Nicole and Natalie Appleton – reissued their 2003 debut album ‘Everything’s Eventual’ back in 2023. They will also take the stage at the Mighty Hoopla festival in May.

The single was co-written with Gareth Young and Bnann, Nicole says: “We hadn’t worked with Gareth since we made our ‘Everything’s Eventual’ album, so we were amazed at how quickly everything clicked into place again. This song just flowed out of us because it’s very much the story of us.”

The decision to reunite was inspired by their children, Nicole explains, “It was actually our kids Gene and Ace who suggested we reunite. Gene said out of the blue: ‘Why don’t you do something with Auntie Nat again?’ And as soon as the idea was out there, we both realised how much fun it could be. I’m just so excited to be singing with Nic again.”

Appleton are scheduled to perform on BBC Radio 2’s Piano Rooms with the BBC Concert Orchestra on 19th February.
