Here for It

Released in 2018, Here for It marks Xscape's first studio release in twenty years, serving as a significant milestone in the group's tumultuous history. Recorded as a trio consisting of LaTocha Scott, Tamika Scott, and Tameka 'Tiny' Harris, the EP notably excludes founding member Kandi Burruss, who was committed to a Broadway run at the time. Produced primarily through RedZone Entertainment, the project seeks to modernize the group's sound by incorporating trap-lite percussion and atmospheric synths prevalent in the 2010s R&B scene. Despite the updated production, the EP remains anchored by the Scott sisters' gospel-inflected power and the group's trademark tight harmonies. Critical reception noted the project's ability to maintain the 'Xscape sound' despite the missing fourth voice, highlighting tracks like 'Dream Killa' and 'Wifed Up' as successful attempts to bridge generational gaps in R&B. It stands as a testament to the group's enduring chemistry and vocal prowess.
