1. Troye Sivan & BROODS, “EASE”
Ravenclaws appreciate artistry, and music should be deep lyrically and harmoniously. Troye Sivan’s “EASE” (or, honestly, his entire album) has vivid imagery and an experimental story arc, both of which would appeal to the individualistic Ravenclaw.
2. Marina and the Diamonds, “The State Of Dreaming”
Like Troy’s “Blue Neighborhood” album, Marina’s “Electra Heart” album is just as intriguing. Centered around Marina’s flamboyant, blonde-wigged alter ego Electra Heart, Marina focuses on a duality between her real self and ideal self, a plot that runs through quirky lyrics and synth beats. Marina’s “The State Of Dreaming” is a perfect embodiment of the idealistic Ravenclaw.
3. Regina Spektor, “Folding Chair”
Regina Spektor’s writing is specifically idiosyncratic. Her lyrics aren’t that autobiographical, but the creativity from her lyrics stems from her quirky personality. Ravenclaws pride originality and individualism in whatever they do, so “Folding Chair” would be the perfect jam for a sunny day on the beach.
4. Disclosure & Lorde, “Magnets”
Ravenclaws draw a cool, icy aesthetic. Whether it be the dreamy professor or the calculating scientist, Ravenclaws are edgy, though not as edgy as the UC Berkeley Memes For Edgy Teens group on Facebook. “Magnets” embodies that calm, cool-headed aesthetic.
5. Melanie Martinez, “Carousel”
Take Marina and the Diamonds’ intellectual execution, and add Lorde’s strong-willed persona -- Melanie Martinez is the result of an effortless blend of artistry and personality. “Carousel” is a creative take on romance through the lens of a childhood fantasy, something Ravenclaws would approve of.
