On Tuesday, February 28, 2017 the 90’s girl group Xscape announced during an interview with Atlanta’s V-103 that they are working on an album and a tour.
Xscape was one of the biggest R&B girl groups of the 90’s. Their unique sound, along with their feminine yet tomboyish style, won the hearts of many in the 90’s era.
The group members were sisters Latocha and Tamika Scott, Kandi Burruss and Tameka “Tiny” Harris. The group had three platinum albums along with 10 hit songs that topped the Billboard charts including “Just Kickin’ It”, “Who Can I Run To”, “The Arms of the One Who Loves You”, and “Little Secret”. Two of the members of the girl group, Kandi Burruss and Tameka Harris, even co-wrote the hit single “No Scrubs” for their rivalry group TLC. During an episode of Unsung, a show that profiled the group’s rise and fall in the music industry, the members revealed why the group fell apart. They all cited that their conflict among each other was the reason why they did not stay together. The episode ended with them hinting that there was still some unresolved issues along the former members. The group parted with Kandi Burruss and Tiny Harris appearing on reality TV while Latocha Scott still remained active in music, and her sister Tamika started acting and writing for Tyler Perry plays and movies.
Although they have been separated for quite awhile, their fans have never left which was proven when the Xscape’s Unsung special reached 2.4 million views making it the most viewed episode in Unsung history. Just recently, all the members resolved their past issues with each other and Kandi Burruss confirmed via Instagram that the group has reunited. During an interview with Atlanta radio station V103, Burruss confirmed that the group will be performing again. It was has even been hinted that a possible biopic is under consideration after admitting to being inspired by The New Edition Story stating, “It’s so funny cause all the time people ask us, ‘When are y’all gonna come back?’ And it’s been a lot that’s happened over the years. But I’m not even gonna lie to you, watching The New Edition Story it definitely made me sit and think about our legacy as a group. And you know we actually decided to have a real conversation and really talk. It’s been like 20 years though. It’s been at least 18, I’ll give you that.”
The other members of Xscape have also hinted towards an epic Xscape projects on Instagram by posting group pictures. Although an Xscape reunion has been mentioned, there has been no official tour dates announced due to the members’ busy schedule. They are in the process of making new music but it’s safe to say they are definitely back together again.
