The 90s quartet behind 'Who Can I Run To?' and 'Runaround' made harmony-driven R&B that holds up.
For a quick sense of their sound, put on 'Who Can I Run To?' and 'Runaround' back to back. That's the Xscape zone.
Xscape's music arrived right when Atlanta was becoming an R&B powerhouse, and their sound captured that moment. Songs like 'Who Can I Run To?' and 'Runaround' have that clean, mid-90s production from Jermaine Dupri, but the group's harmonies gave it warmth. You still hear those tracks on R&B stations because they're just solid songs, not just nostalgia.
They formed in Atlanta in the early 1990s and released their debut 'Hummin' Comin' at 'Cha' in 1993. After Tamika Scott left in 1998, the trio kept recording through the late 90s and early 2000s before disbanding in 2005.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
