Alpha

Alpha is a space for redefining the meaning of a woman’s power. Power doesn’t have to be about fighting, standing up or changing history. The power of these artists lies in their existence. From there flows truth, authenticity, vulnerability, nuanced representation. In “Another Life” from LANA—the deluxe version of her album SOS—SZA reflects on a relationship that never quite worked. “Don't wanna throw away tonight/I know you’re not the stayin’ kind,” she sings. “In another lifetime, boy/I know we both would be too right,” the R&B superstar adds, reminding us it can be dangerous to wonder “what if?”. Enter Alpha now and add it to your library to keep in touch with the women making music on their terms, uplifting one another and challenging notions through the simple matter of being. Now, that’s real power.
