Saints & Sinners was the second studio album by British girl group All Saints. It was released three years after their debut album All Saints. It features the three hit singles "Pure Shores", "Black Coffee" and "All Hooked Up".

The album and singles from the album were successful as well as the tours and promotions. Unlike the debut album it didn't feature cover songs or reworkings of classic song. In general the concept of the album is the same as the previous album with popular R&B songs suited for a wide audience.

Three tracks on the album were produced by William Orbit, known for his work with Madonna including the first single "Pure Shores" which was written for The Beach movie. The vast majority of the songs were written by Shaznay Lewis and Karl Gordon and some contributions by Melanie Blatt. This led to tensions with the Appleton sisters who had the ambition to be more than singers.
