The All Saints aren't with AATW/As All Saints não estão com AATW


The All Saints aren't with 'All Around The World' Record Label. It was a mistake made by 'The Sun'. But why that was not denied?

I sent dozens of e-mails and I have never been answered. But a great All Saints fan, Manuel was answered and brought us this story in the forum.
The answer is from Steve from the AATW Official Youtube Channel.

The Manuel message:
"Hi there,
my name is Manuel and in the last 5 months I wrote three times at the AATW email without having an answer....hope this time will be different Smile!
In April (when the single of Wideboys and Shaznay Lewis was close to release) in the AATW official website there was a post about the two artists where it was stated that All Saints were in the studio and they would be back before the end of the year.
At this point we all thought that the group signed a deal with AATW. As 2009 is not so far and there is no news about All Saints (except some rumors that want the band not together anymore) we wanted to know what's happening with them.
Did they really signed a deal with AATW?Are they still in the studio?When will the new album be out approximately???
Please, hope you'll be so kind to answer my message!
Thanks in advance!
Manuel"

The Steve answer:
"Hi Manuel,
As far as I know and remember (I write the AATW website updates) we never said anything about All Saints, either signing them (which we haven't) or recording new tracks. I think the story about us singing All Saints was in The Sun newspaper or one of the other tabloids, but the story was incorrect. Shaznay featured on the Wideboys track but beyond that we haven't had anything to do with any of the other girls and we haven't signed All Saints
Hope this clears that up!
Cheers
Steve"


The Manuel's reply:
"Steve, thanks a lot for your answer, you've been very very kind!
Honestly I'm a bit sad to hear that All Saints haven't signed a deal with you but I have to tell you that the news came out from the AATW website.
Just go to the Wideboys profile (updated on February, 22) and you can read yourself the following lines: -Shaznay (who in 2001 won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Songwriting) proudly stands as one quarter of the phenomenally successful band All Saints. WHILE THE GIRLS ARE BUSY COOKING UP NEW DELIGHTS IN THE STUDIO, Shaznay just couldn’t resist Daddy O all for herself!-
And still: -The boys transformed All Saints tunes I Know Where It’s At and Black Coffee into dancefloor fillers. ALL SAINTS WILL BE BACK WITH NEW MATERIAL TOWARDS THE END OF 2008.-
A bit strange if you write the updates that you didn't remember it...anyway, maybe it's time to modify that page Smile
Thanks again
Manuel"


The Steve's answer:
"Hi Manuel,
That came from a press release for the single from the guys who were looking after the PR for the Wideboys & Shaznay. If that's what it says then I guess its true (though I wouldn't read too much into press releases, such is their nature that they do sometimes over egg things), the girls may well be working on something but they're definitely not signed with AATW so I don't know really. It may be a bit unclear in what it says but it should in effect read that Shaznay did the Daddy O track as a seperate side project to everything else she's doing.
Cheers
Steve"



I would like to say a great 'THANK YOU' for Manuel and Steve!!!

And the All Saints fans are waiting for a official new from the girls.
But Mail On Sunday's news is official: The girls ARE WORKING TOGETHER IN A NEW ALBUM! But... where? When?

Look the picture:/Veja a figura:

I bought this kit on Ebay, I don't read yet but if someone has read, please send me an email.




Tradução:
As All Saints não estão com a gravadora 'All Around The World'. Isso foi um engano cometido pelo 'The Sun'. Mas por que isso não foi negado?

Eu enviei dezenas de e-mails e nunca fui respondida. Mas um grande fã das All Saints, Manuel foi respondido e nos trouxe essa história no fórum. A resposta é de Steve do canal do Youtube oficial da AATW.

A mensagem do Manuel:
"Oi,
meu nome é Manuel e nos últimos 5 meses eu escrevi três vezes para o e-mail da AATW sem ter uma resposta.... espero que dessa vez seja diferente Smile!
Em Abril (quando o single dos Wideboys e Shaznay Lewis foi lançado) no site oficial da AATW tinha uma postagem sobre os dois artistas onde dizia que as All Saints estavam em estúdio e que elas voltariam antes do fim do ano.
Por isso nós todos pensávamos que o grupo tinha assinado com a AATW. Como 2009 não está longe e não há novidades sobre as All Saints (a não ser rumores de as garotas não estão mais juntas) nós procuramos saber o que está acontecendo com elas.
Elas realmente assinaram com a AATW? Elas estão mesmo em estúdio? Quando o novo álbum será lançado aproximadamente???
Por favor, espero que você responda minha mensagem!
Agradeço desde já!
Manuel"

A resposta de Steve:
"Oi Manuel,
Pelo que sei e lembro (Eu escrevo as atualizações no site da AATW) nós nunca dissemos algo sobre as All Saints, não assinamos com elas nem gravamos novas músicas. Eu acho que a história sobre termos assinado com as All Saints foi publicada no jornal The Sun ou em outros tablóides, mas está incorreto. Shaznay fez sua participação na música dos Wideboys mas a história está incorreta apesar disso não temos nada a ver com as All Saints nem assinamos com elas.
Espero ter esclarecido tudo!
Felicidades
Steve"


A réplica do Manuel:
"Steve, muito obrigada pela sua resposta, você foi muito muito amável! Honestamente estou um pouco chateado por ouvir que as All Saints não assinaram com vocês mas eu tenho que dizer a você que essas notícias vieram do site da AATW.
É só ir ao perfil dos Wideboys (atualizado dia 22 de Fevereiro) e você poderá ler as seguintes linhas: -Shaznay (que em 2001 ganhou um Ivor Novello Award por melhor compositora)
orgulhosamente um quarto da bem sucedida banda All Saints. ENQUANTO AS GAROTAS ESTÃO MUITO OCUPADAS COZINHANDO NOVAS DELÍCIAS NO ESTÚDIO, Shaznay não conseguiu resistir a Daddy O!-
E ainda: -Os garotos transformaram as músicas das All SaintsT I Know Where It’s At e Black Coffee em hits para a pista de dança antes. ALL SAINTS VOLTARÃO COM NOVO MATERIAL ANTES DE ACABAR 2008.-
Um pouco estranho se você escreveu as atualizações se você não lembra disso... de qualquer jeito, talvez seja hora de modificar a página. Smile
Obrigado de novo,
Manuel"


A resposta do Steve:
"Oi Manuel,
Isso veio de um comunicado de imprensa para o single que os rapazes estavam buscando antes do PR para o Wideboys & Shaznay. Se isso é o que diz, então eu suponho ser verdadeiro
(eu não costumo muito ler os comunicados á imprensa tal a natureza deles cometerem enganos), as garotas devem mesmo estar trabalhando em alguma coisa mas elas definitivamente não assinaram com a AATW então realmente eu não sei. Pode ser um pouco confuso o que diz mas com efeito pode ler que Shaznay fez a música Daddy O como um trabalho solo.
Felicidades
Steve"



Eu gostaria de dizer um grande 'OBRIGADA' para Manuel e Steve!!!

E os fãs das All Saints estão esperando por um comunicado oficial das garotas.

Mas a reportagem no Mail On Sunday é oficial: As garotas ESTÃO TRABALHANDO JUNTAS EM UM NOVO ÀLBUM! Mas... aonde? Quando?
Desculpem pela tradução fraca.

The girls ARE together/As garotas ESTÃO juntas!

Thank you/obrigada BlaBlaGuy (Ran)

Free CD inside today's Mail On Sunday - All Saints: All Hits


Free inside today's Mail On Sunday, another fantastic CD giveaway - All Saints: All Hits.

All Saints are one of the most successful girl bands of all time, with a string of hits including Pure Shores - later memorably used in the Leonardo Di-Caprio film The Beach – Never Ever, Black Coffee and Bootie Call.

The Mail On Sunday CD giveaway, All Saints: All Hits, features all the original studio versions of all their no 1 hits plus 6 other scorching tracks.


The interview...

Their glamorous good looks, insouciant attitude and irreverent, self-penned lyrics changed the face of pop music in the late Nineties.

Clad in combat trousers and full of brazen self-confidence, All Saints offered a real alternative to their manufactured rivals, the Spice Girls, and gave a shot of life into an industry otherwise dominated by the last acts of Britpop and meek boy bands.

And they were an instant success, scoring eight top ten singles - including five No1s - and two double-platinum selling albums.

They also hit the headlines with a string of celebrity boyfriends and a spate of highly publicised spats - and in 2001, after a tumultuous four years together, the girls - Natalie and Nicole Appleton, Shaznay Lewis and Melanie Blatt - split acrimoniously.

They launched solo careers but the individual projects they pursued were no match for their joint achievements and in 2006 the girls - by then all thirty-something women and with husbands and children - admitted they had missed each other, reconciled their differences and hit the charts again.

It was a fantastic musical journey - and one you can now relive with a brilliant CD. Today, The Mail on Sunday is giving away a FREE 11-track CD containing all their greatest hits.

This must-have collection includes the massive hit single Never Ever, the dance floor fillers Bootie Call and Lady Marmalade and the beautiful Pure Shores - soundtrack to the blockbuster movie The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Demand will be huge, so if you want to make sure of your copy, cut out the coupon printed opposite and hand it to your newsagent.

The band's re-emergence is remarkable given what each of the girls has gone through since they first got together in 1995.

Original members Melanie and Shaznay recruited Natalie and her younger sister Nicole, who are both half- Canadian and trained at London's prestigious Sylvia Young Stage School.

They were already friends with Melanie, who had also attended the school, and soon formed a tight-knit group that refused to kowtow to industry executive demands.


According to Natalie, now 35 and married to Liam Howlett of The Prodigy: 'None of the record companies thinking of signing us cared about the songs.

'They cared about what we looked like and what we would wear. We told them that only we decide how we present ourselves.'

Their stubbornness paid off. They eventually joined London Records and in the summer of 1997 their debut single, I know Where It's At, reached No4 in the UK charts, and their second, Never Ever, stayed at No 1 for a fortnight.

It sold a million copies in Britain, won them two Brit Awards and launched them to international fame.

Yet they still weren't prepared to sanitise their behaviour or change their appearance for the sake of their careers - preferring to stick with their trademark 'cheap and comfortable' combats which, as Natalie put it, 'hid all the wobbly bits'.

Inevitably, comparisons with the Spice Girls followed but the singers, predictably, were quick to dismiss claims they were cashing in on their rivals' success. 'I hated them,' Melanie, now 33, has confessed. 'I was totally against what they stood for. It was too corporate for me.'

When she fell pregnant in 1998 - her boyfriend was Jamiroquai bassist Stuart Zender - Melanie refreshingly refused to hide her bump on stage or in public, wryly remarking that 'it's a child, not a terminal illness', and paving the way for countless other pictures of pregnant celebrity midriffs.

Meanwhile, the Appletons added to their own hype with a host of celebrity boyfriends - Natalie dated actor Jonny Lee Miller and TV presenter Jamie Theakston, and Nicole teamed up with Robbie Williams.

In 2000, they enjoyed their fourth No1 with Pure Shores and their second album, Saints & Sinners, released later that year, went straight to No1 in the UK and gave them their fifth No1 single, Black Coffee.

But by this stage, bitter rivalries within the group were emerging. Shaznay, the group's songwriter, and Melanie were considered the more serious musicians and believed the Appletons' glamorous antics were belittling the group.

'Things got so bad, I didn't want to go to work any more,' says Nicole, now 33 and married to Oasis singer Liam Gallagher.

'Sometimes it was fighting, sometimes just ignoring each other. It was separate rooms, separate flights, separate everything.'

Melanie adds: 'We had all that success and we couldn't enjoy it. We would fly into an
amazing new country and go straight to our hotel rooms because we didn't like each other. We would just sit on our own, phoning home to say how miserable we were.'

The split came in 2001 and the girls went their own ways, barely troubling the charts with their solo efforts. But, away from the limelight, the girls were able to revel in motherhood and domesticity.

Natalie, who has a 16-year-old daughter, Rachel, from her first marriage, married Howlett in 2002 and gave birth to their son, Ace, in 2004. Nicole has a son, Gene, now seven, with long-term lover Gallagher, whom she married last Valentine's Day.

Although Melanie is now separated from Zender, they are both hands-on parents to their daughter Lily Ella, who is nine. Shaznay, 32, married dancer Christian Storm in 2004 and they have a son, Tyler, now two.

Whispers of a reunion began in 2005 when they met up by chance during separate holidays in the South of France. The four went for dinner back in London and, says Natalie, 'spent hours laughing and talking'.

Shaznay adds: 'We've all had our little chats. We've all said our sorrys. We were a bunch of idiots.'

With one new album behind them - Studio 1 released in 2006 - and another due this year, they now realise they can enjoy career success together along with friendship and family.

'It's all about friendship for us,' says Melanie. 'It should always have been about caring for each other first and the band second. It wasn't like that in the beginning but it is now.'
