Monica is a Contemporary R&B and Folk act. Their catalogue also touches Hip hop, House and Jazz. Their sound grew out of Rodney Jerkins, Dallas Austin, Karyn White, Tweet and Maejor. Those roots explain a lot about how Monica arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Toni Braxton, Fantasia, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Price and LeToya, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Elle Varner, Erika de Casier, Teairra Marí, Janine and Marcus Canty, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 75 connections around Monica, reaching back through Rodney Jerkins and forward to Elle Varner.
