Did a quick YouTube short today using the new camera, I prepped the chord diagrams last night in Finale software:
What are these chords , well first off they sound cool so that's the main thing.
Theory wise I was thinking of a 2 5 1 6 2 5 1 progression in C major.
I extended the progression to sort of include a G pedal note so you could view the chords differently hence the G13sus4 rather than Dm9/G.
The second chord is interesting as it can be seen as G7 (b5 #5) .
The last part is interesting as the top voice ascends with the chromatic notes A A# B
Putting on the composer hat though you say "who cares they sound good" the analysis comes after the composition not before.
Neo soul title clickbait? Well I have seen Robert Glasper live a few years ago and I like the Neo soul way of moving around the key changes!
Uses of this progression could be in Charlie Parkers tune Little Suede Shoes, I tend to play it in the key of C rather than Eb.
