Ola Onabule is up for SoulTracks: Choice Awards 'Male Vocalist of the Year'

Okay, this is one election we can all agree on. The time is coming again for the 2019 SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards, the biggest awards in the world dedicated to independent soul music.

We've gathered all the suggestions from readers and our industry friends and have chosen a fantastic group of finalists -- superb artists who represent all that is great about Soul Music in 2019.  To be nominated, an artist must have released music (or had the music reach its commercial peak) between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019. And all nominees must have released their music independently (i.e., not on one of the three major labels).

Ola Onabule is up for 'Male Vocalist of the Year.' 

Onabule's new album POINT LESS, is an activist's call - at once a celebration of life and a cautionary take on the social forces that threaten it. Violence, immigration, xenophobia, betrayal, and dignity are themes considered on Point Less, rendered with a powerful and knowing generosity of spirit. Onabul' is rueful yet optimistic.

To make sure the SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards results are accurate and fair to the artists, all voting is by individual emailed ballots sent out to SoulTracks email subscribers only - one vote per subscriber. To be eligible to vote, supply your email address in the "Free Sign Up" button up at the top of the page (or click here to sign up) by November 7.  Voting ballots will go out on Friday November 8. Award winners will be announced in December. Congratulations to the nominees! #SoulTracks2019.
