What happens when you mix the chords from relative major and minor keys?

🎹 Is This Book the Key to Anime & J-POP Music?    • Is This Book Your Key to Anime & J-PO...  

It turns out that Relative Multipolar Tonality, an idea outlined by Kayano Chino in the book Japanese Music Harmony, is not that unusual a harmonic technique. We look at a handful of American and British pop songs that all use a mixture of chords from the major key and its relative minor.

Songs included:
Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
Cryin' by Aerosmith
Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis
I Want To Hold Your Hand by The Beatles
Creep by Radiohead
Steven Universe Opening by Rebecca Sugar
Space Oddity by David Bowie
