Fm7

About this chord

Fm7 (F minor 7) has a moody, smoky, introspective color—dark yet warm, with a soulful, late‑night vibe and a hint of longing. It’s a jazz and neo‑soul staple, vital in bluesy turnarounds and lo‑fi hip‑hop; echoes R&B and can suggest Afro‑Cuban or Latin ballad feels. On guitar it’s typically a barre shape; piano invites lush, sophisticated voicings. Commonly used as iiø in minor keys, as a iv7 in soul progressions, or to set up smooth resolutions and melancholic grooves.
