Robin S. (full name Robin Stone born 1959) is a dance diva from Queens, New York who had big success in the 1990s with hits like "Show Me Love" (which was her debut single and a #1 Dance hit) "Luv 4 Luv", "Midnight" and "It Must Be Love". Robin S. was signed by Big Beat Records in 1993, and debut single climbed the charts the same year, as did her first album, also titled Show Me Love. The success earned her a spot on the 1994 American Music Awards as a performer.
After taking time off to work on her songwriting, she began working with producers such as Eric "E-Smoove" Miller and Todd Terry on her second album. Released in 1997 on Atlantic Records, From Now On reflected broader interests for Robin S., encompassing gospel and ballads in addition to hi-NRG dancefloor material. The album's first single "It Must Be Love" became a huge hit on the dance chart spending 2 weeks at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The follow up single "Midnight" reached #3. She performed the hit on the Ricki Lake show, the week the single hit Top 10 on the US dance charts. She also appeared on the RuPaul show to promote From Now On, the album sold about 100,000 copies in the US by the end of its run.
