Cleopatra is a Americana act. Their sound grew out of Bee Gees, ABBA and The Jackson 5. 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, Sugababes and Blaque, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Spice Girls, Steps and Tina Cousins, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around Cleopatra, reaching back through Bee Gees and forward to Spice Girls.
