Manchild

Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Manchild is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Braille. Those roots explain a lot about how Manchild arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as S.O.S. Band, Weldon Irvine, Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly, Steve Spacek and Donny Hathaway, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Babyface, The Isley Brothers, Toni Braxton, Bette Midler and Patti LaBelle, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Manchild, reaching back through Braille and forward to Babyface.
