The following is the list of nominees (15 in each category) for the 2007 SoulTracks Readers Choce Awards, the largest international awards dedicated to independent soul music. During late September, a group of over 1000 artists and other soul music industry representatives will vote to narrow this list down to five finalists in each category. Then in October thousands and thousands of SoulTracks readers will vote for the winners of this year’s awards from that group of finalists.
