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. This week, Lola Young is single-minded on “One Thing”—from her third studio album I’m Only F**king Myself, out now. “Break your bed and then the sofa/I wanna pull you closer/Everybody wants to know ya, but me/I only want one thing,” she sings. 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.
