On BBC's Radio 1, Welsh singer Duffy has responded to Estelle's assertion that soul music is a genre only reserved for black artists. She explained that "if the talent and the desire is there, I don't really think it matters what color you are. We don't live in the 1950s anymore. We are a multicultural country".
Duffy also responded to Estelle's belief that there are no black artists in the UK singing soul: "So no, I think that’s pretty far from the truth. Look around and I think you'll see that it [Black Soul] really does exist."
I completely agree with Duffy, and am very disappointed in Estelle's apparent close-mindedness. Obviously, she has never heard any song from Hall and Oates.
