From Imogen Heaps atmospherics to Rihannas stripped-back FourFiveSeconds, check out the math of Pentatonix below.
Imogen Heap
Imogen Heap is one of our favorite artists, as a group.
And specifically, the song Water, was produced very Imogen Heap-like.

All the chords we used with our voices are similarly atmospheric.
And Justin has always been very moment-based: His music always has really cool moments and ear candy.
So we tried implementing that as well throughout the album.
Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney, FourFiveSeconds
We could not get enough of this song.
SBTRKT Wildfire
So SBTRKT did this song with Little Dragon and the production is amazing.
That opening is so immediate.
Taylor Swift
1989is, like, the album of the century.
That whole sound and aesthetic that she has going on was really intriguing for us.
So with our song Rose Gold, we channeled that chill, almost folky-pop sound and nostalgia.
And the lyrics are really cool its got like a Lana Del Rey thing going on.
Billy Joels Goodnight My Angel
I recently became an uncle.
Its just the most beautiful lullaby ever.
So we wrote our own lullaby.
And we just started going.
That was definitely one of my favorite songwriting sessions, ever.
I would say on Take Me Home we really channeled that 90s, soulful vibe they made famous.
And that melody is just really nice and pleasant r&b-vibes.
