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. Taking centre stage this week is Megan Moroney with “Wish I Didn’t,” the swoony—and a little sinister—single off her forthcoming album Cloud 9, out February 20. She’s ready and willing to fall in love, but she’s not willing to waste her time, and so she’s making it clear on the chorus: “Consider this a warning, you’ve got one shot to listen/I think I’m falling for you, don’t make me wish I didn’t.” 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.
