Sting

Jazz
JazzK-popPop

Sting is a Jazz and K-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Pop, Reggae and Rock. Their sound grew out of Manu Katché, Rupert Hine, Insensatez, Paul Franklin and Get Up, Stand Up. Those roots explain a lot about how Sting arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Dire Straits and Toto, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Meg Myers, Savuka, Nell, Maëlle and We Don't Talk About Bruno, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 154 connections around Sting, reaching back through Manu Katché and forward to Meg Myers. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
