From Abrahan:
RIP Dr. Maya Angelou April 4, 1928 - May 28, 2014
Morrissey tapped her for the Meltdown Fest in 2004.
Excerpt from Spotlight: Morrissey, 25 Years On by Len Brown - MusicOMH, Aug. 2009:
Back in 2004, when he curated the Meltdown Festival at London’s Royal Festival Hall, Morrissey had approached the great black American writer Maya Angelou to appear. He’s featured her poem No No No No on the soundtrack before his solo shows at the end of the Millennium.
So, maybe, the title of his new album has been inspired by Angelou’s famous poem Refusal, which ends with the moving lines:
