Xscape are making all sorts of headlines of late thanks to their drama-drenched reality series with SWV.
But make no mistake, the group’s pedigree and premium emanate from their stellar music catalog.
This week From The Vault toasts one of the quartet’s most revered anthems – ‘Who Can I Run To.’
Housed on the ladies’ sophomore album ‘Off The Hook,’ the track was released in 1995 as the LP’s second single.
Historically, members Kandi Burruss and LaTocha Scott tagged-teamed as the group’s lead vocalists. Yet, with this stunning cover of The Jones Girls’ 1979 hit of the same name, Tamika Scott took center stage with powerful finesse.
For many, the magic of the track exists within both its frank lyrical narrative and astute vocal delivery. This potent pairing helped lift the release to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally.
Its simple yet effective video, which sees the ensemble performing the song in Club So So Def, also serves as one of the most memorable offerings from the mid-90s R&B scene.

As the compelling storylines play out on ‘SWV & Xscape,’ here’s hoping the magic of this oft-underrated group is celebrated in equal measure.
