Robin S.

Vocal-house powerhouse Robin S., a.k.a. Robin Stone, made her grand introduction with the pop crossover classic “Show Me Love,” a glorious showcase of early ‘90s dance music with its bare, buoyant groove and the singer’s fierce, fiery delivery. Since its U.S. release in 1993, the No. 1 dance hit has spawned numerous remixes and cover versions, including Sam Feldt’s 2015 international club smash. While “Show Me Love” (​​not to be confused with the hit song by the similarly named but unrelated Robyn) proved the Queens, New York native born in 1962 could command a crowd, the song only touched on the singer/songwriter’s full potential—in and out of the club. Her 1993 debut album of the same name and 1997 follow-up, From Now On, found her nimbly navigating soul-infused house, slick disco-pop, and romantic R&B balladry. Nearly 20 years later, she’d make her way back to the top of the dance-club charts with 2016’s “Shout It out Loud,” a high-energy collaboration with DJ Escape that showed Robin S.’s enduring power to fill up any dance floor.
