So i've been playing this song. Nakamarra by Hiatus Kaiyote and the vers seems to go.
EbM7 AbM7 Fm9 CM9 Fm9 Fm9.
I IV ii VIM7 ii
You see it sometimes in Neo soul and RnB.
VI ii bVII IV
My question is, where does this Cmajor9 chord come from?! It sounds really cool, and i've definitely hear this sound before, but i cant figure the theory behind it. I'm guessing a borrowed chord / modal interchange fx. if it was a Bmajor7 it would derive from the Phrygian scale.
What scale does it derive from? Im really interested in hearing your interpretations!
oh and please don't post comments like "Because it sounds good", although it might be true, i want to know the 'logical' thought process behind it or just how to categorise it in my own head.
Thank you for you help.
