Undaground LA

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. Leading this week’s playlist is genre-blending artist Jessie Murph with “1965,” the focus track for her just-released sophomore album Sex Hysteria in which the singer-songwriter just wants to turn back the clock—despite the obvious drawbacks. “I think I’d give up a few rights,” she sings, “if you would just love me like it’s 1965.” 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.
