Estelle, currently in the top spot singles-wise with 'American Boy', has criticised the UK music industry for not encouraging black UK artists. Speaking about the likes of Ms Dynamite, Jamelia and Mis-Teeq, she told the BBC: "They all got dropped for some reason! Some were at the height of their career and they got dropped. I don't understand it. There was the emergence of people perceiving urban music to be dead. Well, it's not dead, you just don't know what to do with it".
