Share:
A NINETIES popstar has revealed her brand new album 23 years after her band's sensational split. The musical break-up, back in 2001, was said to centre on who would wear a particular jacket in a photoshoot - with their overall fighting then tearing the group apart.

Now Shaznay Lewis - who first found chart fame in girl group All Saints - has spoken out about her new music. The 49-year-old singer-songwriter from London spoke about her new single Peaches on her Instagram page, in a new black and white video. She told how the track is about the growth of peach trees on the site of the "lost souls" of slaves, who were not integrated into society after the American Civil War.

Shaznay donned a black vest and white shirt for her video, paired with dark trousers. In her caption she wrote: "The story behind Peaches.". She then revealed her new album, Pages, and added: "You can listen to this track and more on my album ‘Pages’ which is out now, link in bio x".

In January, she revealed her first solo single in 20 years. After the Never Ever hitmakers split in 2001, the Londoner released her debut album Open three years later in 2004, which eventually charted at 22 in the UK. Her first solo song Never Felt Like This Before, reached number 8.

Earlier this year, she revealed new pop and RnB themed tune Miracle before the arrival of her album months later. Shaznay previously exclusively told The Sun how All Saints didn't "define" her - and how important it was for her to "step away.". In All Saints, she was the least showbiz of the band — alongside Melanie Blatt and sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton — often missing out on partying to concentrate on writing songs.
