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 “girl, get up.,” an anthem for the unapologetically thriving—and unbothered—from Doechii and SZA. The rap and R&B powerhouses deliver exceptional bars and vocals, as well as a chorus that serves a potent reminder: Don’t let the haters knock you down, and do that by chilling out. (“I be in the back, levitatin’/Doin’ meditation, hear me, girl, get up/Pickin’ on nonconfrontation/Fuck a limitation, hear me, girl, get up”). 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.
