Laura Mvula is "genuinely hurt" after she didn’t receive a nomination at the BRIT Awards.
The ‘Green Garden’ hitmaker was devastated to miss out on a nod for the annual music awards and questioned her songwriting skills in a emotional message on Twitter.
In a series of tweets, she wrote: "feeling not quite good enough … genuinely hurt #BRITs2017 … maybe if I wrote better music? (sic)"
Her comments caused her fans to send a flurry of supportive messages on social media.
One wrote: "Crushing for you, I’m sorry, my lovely xx (sic)"
Whilst another added: "Astonished @lauramvula didn’t get a single Brit nod. The Dreaming Room was one of *the* albums of 2016. Nothing for her to apologise for. (sic)"
And a third shared: "baby.ur music has saved ppl. it’s not that ur not gd enough for the Brits – the Brits aren’t big enough for the universe that is u (sic)"
The 30-year-old singer also shared a picture of those nominated for the British Female Solo Artist award – Ellie Goulding, Emeli Sandé, Lianne La Havas, Nao and Anohni.
Meanwhile, Laura recently opened up about her musical inspirations.
She said: "The popular British music of the day is still very much a part of what I do I think. You know all the girl pop groups and boy bands were in their heydey when I was growing up and for me, it was really Eternal that had the biggest impact on me. So I took inspiration from all around me, and I never really felt like anything was off limits …
"My parents listened to all kinds of music and they managed to stay really open when it came to their listening habits. They would listen to a lot of church music, and a lot of Motown and a lot of classical music in the morning time. It was always broad. I mean I wasn’t particularly conscious of it, it’s just what I was exposed to and what I clicked with."
