Harmony analysis

Madonna – Love Profusion: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Bm and ends on Gbm. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

A major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = G# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = D (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

F# minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = E (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because it comes to rest on F#m and F#m is heard 22 times against 21 for A. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#m; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 4 different chords appear 86 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

Bm Gbm Aii → vi F#miv → iminor plagal ×22

The move to watch is Bm → Gbm, heard 22 times. From the F#m side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the A side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
Over Bm, land on B, D, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Gbm, land on Gb, A, Db — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The opening Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Bm, Gbm, A, E carry the song: ii–vi–I–V relative to A, iv–i–III–VII relative to F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bm → Gbm (ii → vi in A, iv → i in F#m): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. It closes on Gbm, letting the F#m side have the last word.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
