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 electropop singer-songwriter Adéla with “Nicole Kidman”, which has her comparing herself to some of the actor’s steamiest projects (“Moulin Rouge!/My corset is so tight/Babygirl in control/I feel like Nicole”). Add Alpha 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.
