Lemar

Lemar is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of The Jacksons, Al Green, Musical Youth, U2 and Lionel Richie. Those roots explain a lot about how Lemar arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Will Young, Simon Webbe, Lighthouse Family, Craig David and John Legend, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into JLS, Omar and The 411, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 36 connections around Lemar, reaching back through The Jacksons and forward to JLS.
