They Came, They Saw, They Did More Than Just Hummin'.......2007-06-01

Xscape truly brought it to the masses with this album, and in the manner in which they spoke their minds in song, they proved to be a force to be reckoned with and they couldn't be denied. Songs like Just Kickin' It (personally, I prefer the remix over the original), Understanding, and I Got Love On My Mind are 3 major examples off this album that back up my thoughts. It's definitely worth having.

4.5 stars.......2007-04-11

When these talented girls released this short but sweet debut album, they were still very young. But they kept it mature, and that's one of the things I love about them. Nowadays, we can't get an artist or group under the age of 18 coming out without being a bubble gum pop act or a gimmick, talking about childish things like... lip gloss? Also, their harmonies are on point, which we really aren't finding in the industry right now. The production and song-writing is top notch. "Understanding" is so touching; I cried the first time I heard it. I love "Just Kickin' It," the original and the remix. Their take on the Clark Sister's "Is My Living In Vain?" was also a highlight for me. Okay... I liked the whole album! I listen to it straight through. A few more tracks and the exclusion of the interlude "W.S.S Deez Nuts" would've been nice, but I still love it!

Xscape enters the "girl group" market.......2007-01-03

In 1993, Xscape became the latest "girl group" to surge up the R&B charts. Like SWV, En Vogue, and TLC before them, they had a profilic producer in Jermaine Dupri, talented vocalists, and a hunger to succeed. These elements all led to Xscape marching to an incredible debut in Hummin' Comin' At Cha. But enough about history. Let's get into the music.

Xscape reeled off no more than THREE hit singles in 'Just Kickin It', Understanding, and 'Love On My Mind'. Each record was different from each other. 'Just Kickin' It' was a laid-back, midtempo groove that stayed on the charts for months. 'Understanding' was a smooth, sensual, slow-jam that ranks as their best EVER work. 'Love On My Mind' was the typical hip-hop flavor we'd come to expect from JD. Each helped in garnering platinum album sales for the southern quartet.

As with any quality record, good album tracks are present. And Hummin' Comin' At Cha is no different. The tracks to check out are: With You (a smoky, midtempo groove worthy of a single), Is My Living In Vain (an gospel-styled treat that will get your soul stirring), and Tonight (an acapella-laced treat that gets your heart shivering).

In sum, Xscape turned out an impressive debut. Not only did the quartet go on to bigger success, but they also became the front act of JD's label --So So Def -- later in the decade. They would also turn up better records as the decade went on. But, their debut should not go unnoticed. It is the start of their legacy and should be picked up by any music follower, especially those heavy into hip-hop/soul.

Grade: B+

"understanding" is absolutely heartbreaking..........2005-10-22

You know what, I've been looking for this CD for a long time when I was in the Philippines. Now that I'm in the US, I got a chance to purchase this in Amazon. BUY THIS CD! The tracks "Just Kickin It" and "Understanding" will already compensate for your money's worth. I had a heart time listening to "Understanding" though. Its one of my favorite songs of all time, but its absolutely heartbreaking and devastating. The group croons so well and their vocals just shoot me directly to my heart. I can't resist them. I get teary-eyed when I hear the song, especially when they declare the line: "I tried so very hard, to keep the love alive" and "I need some understanding, I wanna be with you..."

Don't take my word for it. Try to listen to the CD yourself. I believe you're a stone if your heart doesn't soften with the song "Understanding":-)

COMMIN AT CHA.......2005-10-08

NOT MY FAVORITE ALBUM FROM XSCAPE BUT IT DID SHOW THAT THESE LADIES COULD REALLY SING. THE HARMONIES AND STRENGTH OF EACH MEMBERS VOCALS MAKE THIS ALBUM GOOD. KANDI'S VOCALS ARE AMAZING ON THIS ALBUM AND UNIQUE . THE SISTERS VOCALS BLEND SO NICELY TOGETHER AND TINY PROVIDES THE COUNTRY IN THIS AMAZING GROUP.
