CL

CL is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Aaliyah, Madonna, Queen, Lauryn Hill and Beyoncé. Those roots explain a lot about how CL arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as 2NE1, Jessi, Minzy, G-DRAGON and HYO, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jack Ü, J-Hope and Jeon Soyeon, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around CL, reaching back through Aaliyah and forward to Jack Ü. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
