listening for music that has chord progressions i don’t understand and then looking them up continues to be going well
this progression from focus by h.e.r. is made of sex. it voice-leads gorgeously but i don’t get it harmonically in the slightest

there’s this big gap in my music theory education. i took ~two music theory classes in college: harmony and counterpoint, and a dope class called “music after 1960” with a lot of avant garde atonal stuff in it. but i don’t think i got a good grounding in like jazz harmony

like i’m not even sure where to look to understand the harmonic ideas here. it’s obviously not totally atonal. is this jazz stuff?
