Free Music Notes for Hummin' Comin' at 'ChaFree Music Review: Xscape's vocal talent survives Jermaine Dupri's productionAlthough they had six top ten singles few people would today remember Xscape or any of their hits. It wasn't their fault though, they arrived at the wrong time when similar girl groups were a dime a dozen and with the wrong producer. Jermaine Dupri, always one of the most egotistical figures in the urban music spectrum (and that's saying something)was fresh off the success of Kriss Kross's "Jump" when he decided he wanted a girl group of his own to rival SWV and TLC; enter Xscape. His intentions to market them as a "ghetto En Vogue" were abundantly clear and they dominate this record from the stupid interlude "W.S.S. Deez Nuts" to the forced bad girl postureing of the otherwise pretty girls on the album cover and sleeve. And then there's the single "Just Kickin'It".. upon one listen it's obvious that Dupri wrote and produced this dribble. No woman could have written the lyrics "every man wants a woman who can cook him up a good meal... and every man wants a woman who ain't good for just lyin' on her back." While the rest of the album has more female friendly lyrics they are lost on the pretenciousness of Dupri's productions. Was an organ really necessary on "Understanding"? Or was it just meant to show that Xscape had church roots too after singing a song like "Just Kickin' It"? Don't get me wrong, the girls had major vocal talent as displayed by their gospel edged highly energized harmonizing on tracks such as "Tonight" and "Is My Living In Vain" but the medium through which this talent was filtered is horribly frustrating. Sometimes a talented group is alluded major success because they can't find an image or a gimmick to stick with but in this case it's the gimmick that ruins the group.
