Welcome to Alpha Women: 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 the Angélique Kidjo and Ayra Starr collaboration “Aye Kan (Are You Coming Back?)”, a track the legendary Beninese singer feels is reflective of her greater mission as an artist and human being. “With all the music that I create, I want to show that anything and everything is possible,” Kidjo says. “And that despite what the political rhetoric might have us believe, we are all deeply connected. My hope is that these songs bring happiness to everyone, but also remind them that we were all put here to help and love each other.” Listen to it on the Alpha Women playlist now, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
