"Braxton was never just singing sad songs... She's among the last of a breed of R&B singers who’ve mastered the art of gospel runs, turning simple ballads into soulful novellas." In love with @clovito's Sunday Review of Toni's Secrets for @pitchfork pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

For today's Sunday Review, we're revisiting Toni Braxton's 1996 album, a blend of grown-up pop and sultry quiet storm that reconciled the R&B diva’s soul roots with a sexier, more youthful edge pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

Yes, @JalenHurts can squat more than 600 pounds and deadlift 620. But weight room numbers weren’t the secret to the way he dominated Super Bowl LIX in February, completing an unlikely rise to the top of the NFL. His secret: Next level grit and focus. menshealth.com/fitness/a6444…
