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 Tate McRae with “Housewife,” her first single of 2026, which outlines exactly what “paradise” looks like for her. (Spoiler: She’d trade fame and fortune for just fortune and “a nice guy and a life lived right.”) 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.
