I don’t have perfect pitch so I couldn’t name the keys in the car yesterday while listening, but yes, the two primary chords on the pre chorus are bm and then dm, an attractive mediant association
But Beth sings a single same pitch over both chords and it is not the shared pitch (not the D)
Prechoruses 1 and 2, she picks a pitch that clashes with the bm
Prechorus 3 she switches it so it flashes with the dm
And it REALLY clashes, she sounds like she’s losing her mind. My friend Jessie once said “my god Portishead and their middle-class white lady having a breakdown vibes, it’s irresistible”

A google about something else suggested that I read an article about Jacob Collier's use of microtonal modulation within his pop constructions. I read it. Then I listened to him for the first time.

What he does at 4:00 is as impressive as was advertised tbh. Good writing, Jacob!
