James Stewart is the producer, Elodie Reed is the editor and graphic designer and Joe Mullins is the visual director. Our theme music is composed by Myra Flynn, with production from Tim Sonnefeld.

    ‘Too Close’: Tweet on What Came Next

    Raphael “Tweet” Shawan is one-third of the late-'90s R&B group Next, whose hit song “Too Close” became an anthem of sexuality and desire. For years, fans knew him as one of R&B's most recognizable sex symbols. What they didn't know was that behind the music, he was living with the lasting impact of sexual abuse and the silence that often follows it. In a rare and deeply personal interview—and the first independently produced episode of Homegoings with Myra Flynn—Tweet shares a story he's never fully told publicly: why he left Next, what years of silence cost him, and how he's learning to let go.  If you’re a survivor of sexual assault or know someone who is, there is help available. You can call the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-4673, or visit their website: https://rainn.org/help-and-healing/hotline.  Homegoings with Myra Flynn is reported and hosted by Myra Flynn. James Stewart produces the show, Elodie Reed is acting editor and graphic designer, Joe Mullins is the visual director. Our theme music is composed by Myra Flynn, with production from Tim Sonnefeld. Music in this episode is by Next, Ideal, Myra Flynn and Blue Dot Sessions. A big thank you to Tweet, and also to Nichole Hill.
