Rhythm and blues

S.E.S. is a Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Cleo, Nylon Beat and Misia. Those roots explain a lot about how S.E.S. arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as f(x), Brown Eyed Girls, After School, T-ara and Lovelyz, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Girls' Generation, Red Velvet, Baby V.O.X., HUNTR/X and aespa, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around S.E.S., reaching back through Cleo and forward to Girls' Generation. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
