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 center stage this week is Ella Langley with “Choosin’ Texas,” a clever if heartbreaking retelling of how she lost her man to a gal from the Lone Star State (“She’s from Texas, I can tell/By the way he’s two-steppin’ round the room”). 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.
