Xscape fans, this one is for you! FreddyO has live footage of the ladies doing what they do best, singing their classic “Who Can I Run To” and reminding everybody why Atlanta R&B groups set the standard. No big production needed — when Kandi, Tiny, LaTocha and Tamika lock into those harmonies, the room stops. This is the song, from the Off the Hook album, that fans have been screaming for since the ’90s, and it still hits exactly the same.
Xscape came out of Atlanta under Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def and gave us Just Kickin’ It, Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha and Traces of My Lipstick, records that are forever in the cookout and slow-jam rotation. “Who Can I Run To,” their take on The Jones Girls’ favorite, might be the purest showcase of what made the group special: four real singers who can blend like sisters and still each hold their own. Hearing it performed live in 2012, years after the group’s last album, proves those voices never went anywhere.
Of course, the ladies stay busy on their own these days. Kandi is a fixture on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and always has a new business cooking, and Tiny is on TV with T.I. and the family on The Family Hustle. Still, every time footage like this surfaces, the same question takes over our comments: when are we getting a real Xscape reunion? If they can still sing like this, the fans deserve it, and this performance is all the evidence anybody needs.
Salute to Xscape for keeping real singing alive. Press play and enjoy, and let us know in the comments: is it time for the ladies to make the reunion official?
