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’s cover star is Jessie Murph with the vengeful “Blue Strips.” In the spiteful cut, Murph seeks her retribution, but promises she’s not upset. “I had to get back at you, yeah/Got a new man/Got a new damn mansion in Malibu,” she spits. 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.
