Pure is the third and final studio album by German pop group No Angels, released on August 25, 2003 on Polydor's sublabel Cheyenne Records. It peaked at #1 on the German albums chart and within the top 10 in Austria and Switzerland. Altogether the album spawned three hit singles: "No Angel", "Someday" and "Feelgood Lies". A planned fourth single, "Eleven out of Ten" never materialised: The No Angels had announced their official disbandment two weeks after the album's release.
