Ebony Evans “Loving You (Is All I Wanna Do)” SDCO1002-A Lewzarius “Step Up” SDCO1002-B Release Date – 9th December 2024 To some these won’t seem as contemporary as they have been digital since around 2006 (Ebony’s song getting a limited pressing for a weekender anniversary in Oslo in 2013) and Lewzarius coming much later. However, here at Soul Direction we loved both tracks and felt a 7” vinyl release would be a perfect double header. Ebony Evans “Loving You Is All I Wanna Do” is a prefect example of this soul lady’s talent. Recorded and released in 2004 and with the help and guidance of Manny Campbell who Wrote and arranged the song featured on this Soul Direction release. The track was originally available on the “Luv’s Fire” CD Maxi Single and later a full CD album in 2006 distributed by Coastal Records which are part of the Manny Campbell umbrella of companies. Lewzarius “Step Up” is one of those recorded songs, written and produced by Manny Campbell of (Emandolynn Music) and Haran Griffin of Haran Griffin and The Explosions (most noted for his single “Movin Much Too Fast” release on Bama records). Haran was also involved in composing some additional tracks for the singer. Lewis Jones, or stage name Lewazarius was an Atlanta born singer who was under management of Manny Campbell at Coastal Records in the late 90’s.

Despite boasting members from internationally successful acts like Fantasy Records' own Pleasure, Lights Out never saw their one demo – cut in 1982 for the well-established Solar Records – even get a promo pressing. Two of the tightest and busiest of their dancefloor wreckers from the session now grace their only 7” to date.
