Cashmere Cat is a Contemporary R&B and Dancehall act. Their catalogue also touches Electronic and Hip hop. Their sound grew out of Shy Girls, Palmistry, Francis and the Lights, Sophie and underscores. Those roots explain a lot about how Cashmere Cat arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Mura Masa, SG Lewis, DJ Snake, Clean Bandit and Cardi B, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jeremih, Major Lazer, Kali Uchis, Lil Uzi Vert and 2 Chainz, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 59 connections around Cashmere Cat, reaching back through Shy Girls and forward to Jeremih.
