CRYSTAL POWDER / SAY WOMAN by SPLIT DECISION BAND

The SPLIT DECISION BAND were a soul-funk band from Des Moines, Iowa. They released a standalone single on Network Records in 1978. The band recorded an album’s worth of material around the same time, this only gained a release in 2017 by Now-Again Records. Song choices are in abundance from this project and Alan Kitchener’s excellent Soul Direction label released two brilliant dancers earlier this year. IZIPHO SOUL continue to ride the wave and take the tempo down several notches with these handpicked beauties - CRYSTAL POWDER - A steppers delight! Cocoa Brown’s buttery vocals shine on this imaginatively themed love song, the ‘Genie three wishes’ monologue simply adds to the overall charm. SAY WOMAN - An alluring ballad with the band’s lead Gordon Starr Flipping delivering a super soulful performance.
