Alpha

On “NANi”, Saweetie unapologetically shows off about, well, everything—her success, her money, her body, her friends, her clout. “It’s a privilege just to say you knew me,” she raps. She’s busy, she’s wanted, she’s fabulously wealthy, and we love how much she loves it. There’s so much strength (not to mention pure fun) in being this proud of yourself and shouting it from the rooftops. It’s why we’re featuring it on Alpha, a space for redefining the meaning of a woman’s power. Many of the extraordinary artists on this playlist are, indeed, history-makers and game-changers. But Alpha’s more than that. These songs touch on every facet of what womanhood might look and feel like, to one woman—or many. Here, you’ll find love and intimacy, hope and validation, intensity and rawness. It’s a place for starting conversations, uplifting one another and challenging notions through the simple matter of being. Now, that’s real power. Check back often, as we regularly update this playlist. If you hear a song that gives you power, add it to your library.
