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. This week, Addison Rae shows the dark side of celebrity with “Fame Is a Gun”. “Crash and burn, girl/Baby, swallow it dry/You’ve got a front-row seat, and I/I got a taste of the glamorous life,” she sings. “I was trying to dive deeper into this concept of ‘fame is a gun and it’s really dangerous and you don’t really know what you’re doing with it,’” she tells Apple Music. “You are pointing it blind, and you're unsure of what is going to be destroyed by it.” 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.
