30 Years Later: Phyllis Hyman, "I Refuse to Be Lonely" - Longreads

The singer's first posthumous album deserves to be remembered as the bravest of her career.

A beautiful tribute to one of my favorite musicians, Phyllis Hyman. Hanif Abdurraqib writes about Hyman's posthumous album, I Refuse to Be Lonely, and thinks about depression, loneliness, love, and how Hyman creatively and courageously explores those themes through song.
