Grimes is a Ambient and Contemporary R&B act. Their catalogue also touches Dream pop, Electronic and Synth-pop. Their sound grew out of Loona, Dawn of Chromatica, BloodPop, Nicole Dollanganger and The Bones of What You Believe. 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 Magdalena Bay, Chloe Bailey, BloodPop, Helen Marnie and yeule, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 51 connections around Grimes, reaching back through Loona and forward to Magdalena Bay.
