◇ image via WikipediaUsher
Usher is a Contemporary R&B and Dance-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Hip hop, House and Pop. Their sound grew out of Michael Jackson, Rhythm Nation, PARTYNEXTDOOR, JMSN and Alesso. Those roots explain a lot about how Usher arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ne-Yo, Joe, Omarion, Tyrese and The-Dream, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jacob Latimore, M. Pokora, Shay, Justin Bieber and Straight Outta Lynwood, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 167 connections around Usher, reaching back through Michael Jackson and forward to Jacob Latimore. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
