Singers and Musicians Influenced By Ace of Base
Many musicians and singers have cited Ace of Base as a musical influence: Lady Gaga has claimed that her album The Fame Monster, with songs such as "Alejandro", was influenced by "super pop melodies of the 90s" by acts such as Ace of Base. The song "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" from The Fame has also been linked to the band.
Katy Perry has claimed that she would like her follow-up album to One of the Boys to sound like "The Sign". "It's what I said I wanted earlier," she told MTV. "We nailed it: It's roller-skating! It's '90s! It's Ace Of Base! It's Cyndi Lauper! It's like all these colors and more". The British pop group Steps' third album Buzz was also reportedly influenced by their early material.
