Dance-pop

Shannon is a Dance-pop act. Their sound grew out of Spragga Benz and Siedah Garrett. Those roots explain a lot about how Shannon arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Nu Shooz, Stevie B, Exposé, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam and Miami Sound Machine, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cazwell and Lee Su-hyun, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 21 connections around Shannon, reaching back through Spragga Benz and forward to Cazwell.
