Alpha

Welcome to 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, and each and every one of them is a force of nature in their respective genres. Headlining the playlist this week is a supercollaboration called “Goodboy (Kweku)” from Mellissa, MOLIY, Joey B and Chopstix. Mellissa, in particular, was elated to have earned a slot on the playlist this week. “Knowing more eyeballs and ears will discover the gems in African music and get to know the female voices shaping the new sound of Africa gives me so much hope,” she tells Apple Music. “I know it can inspire more and more women to home in on their talent.” Listen to her “Goodboy (Kweku)” on the Alpha playlist now, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
