D#mMaj7

— About this chord

D#mMaj7 (Ebm(maj7)) pairs a minor triad with a major 7th for one of the most unsettling, cinematic sonorities in harmony — moody, suspenseful, and dramatic. It's the classic film-noir chord, beloved for spy-thriller tension and melancholic jazz ballad endings, often functioning as a i chord in minor or as chromatic passing harmony resolving to a minor 6th. On guitar it's a spare, shell-voiced grip on the middle strings; on piano it demands careful voice-leading of the major 7th. Also searched as Ebm(maj7), D#m(maj7), D-sharp minor major seven.
