◇ image via WikipediaGrimes
Grimes is a Ambient and Contemporary R&B act. Their catalogue also touches Dream pop, Electronic and Synth-pop. Their sound grew out of Bella Poarch, Ashnikko, Sevdaliza, Loona and Dawn of Chromatica. Those roots explain a lot about how Grimes arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Arca, yeule, FKA twigs, Charli XCX and Chairlift, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into October, Poppy, Chloe x Halle, Pure Heroine and Brooke Candy, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 59 connections around Grimes, reaching back through Bella Poarch and forward to October.
