The Mirror caught up wth Shaznay Lewis and Mel Blatt at Tuesday’s launch of the Blackberry Curve at Kensington Roof Gardens. The pair, who represent half of All Saints, the girl group ditched by Parlophone in March in their comeback bid, insisted: “We’re still working closely together. We don’t know what next year holds but we could well do a comeback tour.”
All Saints posted the following statement to fans on their blog at MySpace on Thursday (March 8):
Hi everyone
First of all the four of us just want to say that we’re really sorry you didn’t get to know about the recent news i.e. the split from our label before anyone else. It really wasn’t that clear cut for a while and we wanted to let things settle for a while and give ourselves a break. As usual the press seems hell bent on repeating their negative reporting and we just felt it was time to say something official.
The Mirror reports an EMI spokesperson said that Parlophone Records and All Saints had made the mutual decision to part company. “Both the label and the group are proud of the album ‘Studio 1′. All Saints are excited about moving forwards with their career and Parlophone wishes them the best of luck.” The girls were said to be “devastated” by the news they’d been dumped. Read more.
