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 RAYE’s year-defining hit that’ll hopefully lead to her beloved—or not. “I was saying, as kind of a joke but not a joke, that this song is definitely a two-in-one marketing campaign for my future husband,” she tells Apple Music. ** 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.
