“1:59” makes two things absolutely clear: Normani knows what she wants, and she’s in total control of getting it. The Gunna-featuring lead single from her upcoming solo debut album Dopamine is sexy, confident and direct. Her on-again, off-again lover is hitting her up—and she’s texting him back for one thing, and one thing only. “When I get you alone/Boy, what you gon' do with it? Don't talk too much, just do this shit,” she commands. It's heated, it’s sleek, it’s powerful—and that’s exactly why we’re featuring “1:59” on Alpha, a space for redefining the meaning of a woman’s power. Like Normani, many of the extraordinary artists on this playlist are, indeed, history-makers and game-changers. But Alpha’s more than that. These songs touch on every facet of what womanhood might look and feel like, to one woman—or many. Here, you’ll find love and intimacy, hope and validation, intensity and rawness. It’s a place for starting conversations, uplifting one another and challenging notions through the simple matter of being. Now, that’s real power. Check back often, as we regularly update this playlist. If you hear a song that gives you power, add it to your library.
