The Scott sisters' father, Rev. Randolf Scott, was part of the 1970s R&B group Scott Three. The sisters sang at church throughout their childhoods while being trained by their father. In 1990, they met the other two members, Burruss and Cottle, in College Park, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.

Music career
They first sang at Jermaine Dupri's birthday party in 1991 and later signed to his label, So So Def Recordings. They released their debut album, Hummin' Comin' At 'Cha, in October of 1993. The album featured their debut single, "Just Kickin' It", which reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, along with the other singles "Tonight", "Understanding", and "Love On My Mind".
Xscape's sophomore album, Off the Hook, was released in July of 1995. It featured the #1 hit "Who Can I Run To" (a cover of the song originally recorded by The Jones Girls) along with singles "Feels So Good", "Can't Hang", and "Do You Want To". During the next few years, they collaborated with different artists such as female rapper MC Lyte on the song "Keep On Keepin' On" and pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey on the Mr. Dupri Mix of her #1 song, "Always Be My Baby", which also featured rapper Da Brat.
They released their third album, Traces of My Lipstick, in May of 1998. It featured the singles "The Arms Of The One Who Loves You", "My Little Secret", "Am I Dreamin'", and "Softest Place on Earth". After the release of this album, the group parted ways.
Then after a five year hiatus Xscape returned to the radio airwaves. With three platinum albums and a slew of top 40 singles under their belt, the sultry R&B quartet, Xscape, is ready to release yet another spicy, seductive album, currently entitled Unchained. Sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott have reunited with Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, and have added a new member, Keisha Miles, to round out their signature sound.
Xscape has been busy booking live performances across the nation following the growing success of “What’s Up”, the first single off the new album. The group recently opened for Alicia Keys in Houston and just performed on 100.3 The Beat’s 15th Anniversary Birthday Bash at the Universal Amphitheater.

Xscape's song "Feels So Good" is a celebration of love and the joy that comes with being with the right person. The song starts with an invitation for the listener to lay back and relax while the girls of Xscape take center stage. The women sing about finding a man that is both able to make them feel strong emotions such as crying and laughter and also knows how to get the job done, driving their satisfaction to the limit. The chorus lists how everything that the partner does to them makes them clap their hands and stomp their feet while feeling so good.
The verses continue this celebration, focusing on the singer's personal experience with a man who makes her feel as if she's never felt before, more passionate and desirous of being with him. They mention that he keeps them wanting more, while moving every inch of their body, and they know this is real. The bridge, "this is for those that like to pop the trunk and let it bump," is a nod toward the '90s car culture and the song's potential as a great cruising song.
The song has a positive, uplifting message that feels exhilarating and is faithful to the R&B sound of the period. The arrangement and vocal strengths of Xscape complement the production, with all of them taking turns in the lead and harmony, along with their group dynamic. The song is a testament to the exceptional vocals and harmonies of Xscape, and is loved and remembered by many for its fun, energetic vibe.

So crazy how Kandi & Tocha’s voices play off of each other & blend so well. Jealousy is real joy-killer.
@blackheartbev3098
The only nice one in that whole group is Tamika Scott, and even she is a little misguided. You don't base worth, off instagram followers. So fkn shallow. Made me lose so much respect for that group.

Their voices do blend. The Softest Place on Earth proves that as both Tamekas didn't sing on that track.
