"Ideology" is the new album by Newcastle/UK soul and funk institution Nick Pride & The Pimptones, featuring the two singles "Don't Turn Me Loose" and "Four Leaf Clover". The Pimptones sound is the coming together of funk and soul, jazz and blues, disco and dance, tightly performed with pop sensibilities and a feel for the classic.

Nick Pride formed The Pimptones back in 2007 to deliver funk, soul and jazz with tight musical arrangements and a great live show. Since then the group has toured Europe, recorded four albums ("Go Deep" and "Rejuiced Phat Shake" on Légére Recordings, "Midnight Feast Of Jazz" on Record Kicks and the self released "It's The Pimptones"). dabbled in various side projects and gained international airplay and recognition. However, following "Go Deep" (2016), it was time for the band to go through a reinvention. The Pimptones now return refreshed and retooled. New singer and full time band member Eliza Lawson plus an all new rhythm section now perfectly compliment the horn section, always a Pimptones trademark.

From the more modern soul pop of "Four Leaf Clover" and "Put It On The Record", the disco of "Keep It In The Family", the organic funk of "Mama Got The Nasty Jams" to the Latin jazz of "UNITY", "Ideology" is not afraid to stretch out musically. But the twelve new tacks push the envelope lyrically as well, as Nick Pride explains: "For this album I wanted to talk about issues which mean something to me in a way which I hadn't tried on previous records. The challenge is to write about equality, acceptance, feminism and social justice whilst producing a record that's fun to listen to."
