Cleopatra is a Americana act. Their sound grew out of The Jackson 5, ABBA and Bee Gees. Those roots explain a lot about how Cleopatra arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Honeyz, All Saints, Melanie B, Blaque and Rachel Stevens, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tina Cousins, Steps and Spice Girls, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 19 connections around Cleopatra, reaching back through The Jackson 5 and forward to Tina Cousins.
