GospelRhythm and blues

Mandisa is a Gospel and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Michael W. Smith, Plumb, Sinach, I'm Every Woman and Shania Twain. Those roots explain a lot about how Mandisa arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Britt Nicole, Newsboys, Lauren Daigle, Group 1 Crew and Amy Grant, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kirk Franklin, TobyMac and Danny Gokey, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 22 connections around Mandisa, reaching back through Michael W. Smith and forward to Kirk Franklin.
