WAKE IT UP!

On this day, 28 years ago, Xscape released ‘Traces of My Lipstick’!

Xscape’s Traces of My Lipstick, executive produced by Jermaine Dupri, peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard 200 and delivered hits like ‘The Arms of the One Who Loves You’ at No. 7 on the Hot 100, ‘My Little Secret’ at No. 9, and ‘Softest Place on Earth’ topping R&B airplay at No. 28. Fans named deep cuts such as ‘One of Those Love Songs’ and ‘Am I Dreamin” alongside debates pitting ‘Softest Place on Earth’ against ‘Arms of the One Who Loves You’ and ‘Hold On.’ Produced by Joe Thomas, Babyface, and others, the album’s lush sound and vocal harmonies keep drawing listeners back, even after the group’s breakup.
