R&B maybe in general takes place in minor keys more? this might unlock some shit for me, i gotta update my song spreadsheet

i was avoiding doing this but now i'm trying to categorize the songs into major and minor to see patterns some of them seem genuinely ambiguous tho, if you never resolve to tonic could go either way 🧐

like ok need you now - F Am in the verse, C Em in the chorus. this could be either C major or A minor right? maybe closer to A minor in the verse and closer to C major in the chorus?
