King Princess

King Princess is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Boyish, Led Zeppelin, T. Rex, Jack White and Romy. Those roots explain a lot about how King Princess arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Hayley Kiyoko, Fletcher, MUNA, Haim and Maggie Rogers, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Harry Styles, Mark Ronson, Kacey Musgraves, Shawn Mendes and Red Hot Chili Peppers, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 36 connections around King Princess, reaching back through Boyish and forward to Harry Styles. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
