Kelis is a House and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of David Guetta, Benny Benassi Presents The Biz, Maribou State, Zhané and Erykah Badu. Those roots explain a lot about how Kelis arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Missy Elliott, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Aaliyah and Pharrell Williams, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into DJ Tocadisco, Beauty Killer, Tierra Whack, Chlöe and Crystal Murray, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 83 connections around Kelis, reaching back through David Guetta and forward to DJ Tocadisco.
