Nicole has famously been a member of All Saints alongside sister Natalie, Shaznay Lewis and Melanie Blatt.
The group released their last album back in 2018, and said at the time that they were enjoying their job more than ever.
"At the beginning, it was obviously a lot more successful – it was a bigger spectrum – but I think with that came a lot more pressure," Shaznay said. "I think the whole thing... we were constantly trying to keep up with it all.
"Whereas this time around it's more enjoyable because we're able to just take in everything and appreciate and enjoy it all."
