Pure Story

Limit

Every year the girls were left wondering. "How long can I take this pressure?" "Should I quit the band?", "How am I supposed to live like this?", "When can I be with my family?" And these questions got on and on for the three Angels except Sandy. She was the one who wanted to continue. Lucy, Vanessa and Nadja were sick and had to take pill after pill to continue work as a performer. This and the life as a non-stop worker were way too much for the three. Sandy had to understand the situation. But when was is it really enough?
Sandy, Vanessa, Lucy and Nadja recorded their voices separately from each other. Everyone came alone to the recording studio. The life as a Band for 24/7 was too much. There was no alone time to take a breather, everything had to be done together. But the time for working on the Pure album went more with ease. Many good songs came in.
The name No Angels was always questioned by the media and the people. Therefore, the Angels had a perfect song for this question. Their first single from this album was released. It is called "No Angel (It's All In Your Mind)". It is a funky pop song. This album and the first single from it went to the top of the charts. They won awards for their successful career and released the next single, "Someday". An easier sound after the funky beats. As they worked on more projects, Angels became thinner and their energy went away . No Angels had a schedule to play at Munich Park Cafe and came late because of few problems. Nadja did her best to sing, as she sat on a chair with her broken leg. Lucy already fainted at the start of their performance and Vany and Sandy were the ones still trying to continue the performances. A Tour "The Pure Acoustic Tour", was already planned by the management and gave tickets out. An acoustic concert for smaller circle. The Angels bite through all programms and worked for the wishes of their labels but mainly for their fans and families.

Even though they seemed tired and powerless, the No Angels released the biggest power song "Feelgood Lies" as their third single. It was another chart smasher and was one of the most talked about songs of the year. No Angels presented their single and promote it at "The Dome". Germany's biggest event, where every artist like; Rihanna. Lady Gaga and Shaggy promoted their projects. Before NoA performed their hits, the Angels told their management they wanted to quit the band for good. Jess was also there to promote her Single "Ten Steps Back". The end of NoA was also a big issue for Jess, because of this her song was a bit overlooked.
But...

Sometime, Jess got an offer to sing together with her bandmates for their last time as 5 Angels.
The song choice was "Reason"- (That's The Reason). The lyrics of the song was changed specially for the fans. Every Angel recorded their voices new, and the Music Video was put together as a montage of the special and important events, like that part, where the angels sang their song at the Big Band concert.
No Angels made a lot of last concerts and appearances. It was the angels decision to split but, the split from their fans was too hard to take for everyone. Jess couldn't do the whole show with them, because the label's idea was already in place. But she did sing some final pieces, or only "Reason".
No Angels' message to their fans is to take a break for a while, but perhaps come back stronger....
