Career
Robin S. was signed by Big Beat Records in 1993. Her debut single climbed the charts the same year, as did her first album, also titled Show Me Love. The song "Show Me Love" peaked at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play, #1 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales, #7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles and Tracks and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked at #4 on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart. The success earned her a spot on the 1994 "American Music Awards" as a performer. The follow-up singles, "Luv 4 Luv" and "What I Do Best", saw similar success. As of 2004, the album Show Me Love had sold 303,000 copies in the US.
After taking time off to work on her songwriting, she began working with producers 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 Contemporary R&B ballads in addition to Hi-NRG dance-floor material. The album's first single, "It Must Be Love", became a hit, spending two weeks at #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. It became a moderate crossover hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at #35 and a minor pop hit, peaking at #91 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single "Midnight" reached #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play, and got better success on the Billboard Top 100, peaking at #35. Robin S. performed the hit on the Ricki Lake show during the week the single hit Top 10 on the U.S. dance charts.
