Kim Appleby is the debut solo album by English singer Kim Appleby, formerly one half of duo Mel and Kim. It features the singles "Don't Worry" (UK No. 2[3]), "G.L.A.D" (UK No. 10[3]), "Mama" (UK No. 19[3]) and "If You Cared" (UK No. 44[3]).
Following the death of her sister Mel in January 1990, with the aid of her then-boyfriend, ex-Bros bassist Craig Logan, Kim launched a solo career with much of the album composed of songs co-written with Mel, for what was intended to be the next Mel and Kim album.
